Our taste promise icon

With over 128 years of expertise our farmers are more than producers—they’re stewards of their land and herds. Many have been farming for generations, passing down knowledge, skills, and a deep love for their animals. This enduring commitment ensures every cow is healthy, happy, and well-cared-for, which produces award winning milk that is creamy, delicious, and full of goodness. This love and attention result in milk that’s rich, creamy, and full of flavour—a true reflection of the passion our farmers bring to every day on the farm.

When you choose Norco, you’re choosing to support over 300 Aussie dairy farming families and their local communities throughout Northern NSW and South-East QLD so they can thrive into the future.

A rich history and strong, bright future

Norco began in 1895, when a group of 40 farmers gathered under a tree at Clunes, near Byron Bay, to discuss how they could come together to secure a better and more profitable future for dairy farmers by exercising the principles of collaboration. They knew then, what we still live by today, that we are stronger together.

Over 125 years later, Norco is Australia’s largest and oldest dairy co-operative, committed to creating a sustainable farming future for generations to come.
