Our taste promise icon

With over 128 years of expertise, we know making Australia’s best tasting milk & dairy starts from the ground up. Raising the happiest, healthiest cows starts with the quality of the grass, the feed and above all the welfare of our animals – because happy, healthy cows make the best tasting milk.

There is a growing body of research around animal enrichment and its effects on cow happiness and milk quality so we are rolling out something new.

Play with Norco’s happy, healthy
cows at home!

In response to research revealing that one in four Aussie children aged five to twelve think their food originates from a supermarket shelf, Norco is launching a fun on-pack, gaming series called COW’S PLAY.

Cow’s Play is designed to engage and educate kids on dairy farming through gamification. The premise of each game is to keep Norco’s virtual cows – ELLIE & BELLE – happy & healthy through different forms of cow enrichment such as a game of KEEPY UPPY or SCRATCHY SCRATCH (available from September.) As the player successfully passes each level, they will unlock fun dairy facts.

It’s a little bit of wholesome fun, the entire family can play. So, scan a bottle today and see who gets the best score!

Norco, the only 100% Australian farmer owned dairy company

Norco is farmer owned, with no shareholders or foreign ownership, so all the profits stay right here in Australia. 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.
