Darigold is the marketing and processing subsidiary of Northwest Dairy Association, a co-operative of about 300 family-owned dairy farms in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana in the United States. Darigold is one of the largest U.S. dairy processors, and its global advantage is tied to top-quality dairy production, excellent service, and its proximity to the West Coast for global shipping. To further support its global growth goals, the co-op is investing $600 million in a new milk powder and butter plant in Pasco, Washington which will be operational in 2025. In 2023, Darigold joined Global Dairy Trade (GDT) to give customers more opportunities to purchase its dairy ingredients.
