Updates on The Dairy Sheep Co-Op with Mark Martin

About this episode

Mark Martin discusses the Dairy Sheep Cooperative, its challenges, and future plans.

This week we sit down with the farmer behind Ewe-Nique Dairy Inc. and part of Mark Martin Dairy Sheep in Drayton, Ontario to learn about his farm and get caught up with what's been going on at the Dairy Sheep Cooperative. Mark discusses what's been working, demand from processors, consumer interest, challenges they're facing and where the co-op is headed next, priorities and plans for the future. Mark also talks about the effects of the government moving sheep milk under the Milk Act and any lessons learned from the process of developing the co-op and growing production.
