Our

Farmer-Owned Cooperative

We are a cooperative of farm families who believe we are better together than apart. Grounded in positivity, optimism, and humility, we feed the virtuous cycle by forging partnerships, finding common ground, and valuing relationships.


Our cooperative is honored every time you make a purchase of Cabot or McCadam products. Our farmers proudly own both of these brands, and 100% of the proceeds go back to our farmers.

It Started with a Commitment to Quality

Cabot farmers have always believed that delicious products are the reward of a job well done. And that by working together, we can dream bigger, achieve more, and build a stronger tomorrow for future generations.

United We Cheese

Cheese belongs to all of us.

Which is why it makes sense that Cabot is owned by our farmers, too. Heritage, hard work and a healthy dose of eccentricity have helped this big little co-op of ours crank out the finest dairy in the country since 1919.
