Our organic team is here to help you through the process of deciding to convert to organic all the way through to becoming a fully certified Fonterra Organic supplier. If you would like to have a conversation with the team on whether organic could be the right fit for your operation, please reach out.
Learning from other organic farmers who have already gone through the conversion process is invaluable.
Opportunities to connect include:

Many organic farmers benefit from working with independent consultants who can provide tailored advice and support throughout the conversion journey. If you’d like to explore consultancy options or need guidance on selecting a consultant that suits your farming needs, please contact the Specialty Milks team at Fonterra Farm Source for more information.
These organisations provide research, advocacy and sector support.
