Oregon Dairy Industries

The Oregon Dairy Industries, also known as ODI, was founded in 1910. It is a nonprofit organization.

Oregon Dairy Industries is a member organization that is about focusing on dairy food quality, safety, and enjoyment. ODI facilitates the development of new dairy food products and provides education opportunities as well as product evaluation. Through ODI's cooperation with OSU Extension programs many resources are pooled to develop product and keep the history of dairy food making alive. We don't work with the milk cows, but we take what they produce and make it into food.

A special thank you to Shawn Bennette, long time ODI Member, for generously volunteering his time and talent to photograph the Oregon Dairy Industries Conference and golf tournament over the past several years.

Shawn’s photos help capture the connections, conversations, and memorable moments that make these events so meaningful to our industry and membership. We truly appreciate his continued support of ODI and the dairy community.

Thank you, Shawn, for helping us preserve and share these memories year after year.

Excellence in dairy production takes skill, dedication, and a commitment to quality.

Each year, the Oregon Dairy Industries Product Quality Evaluation recognizes the outstanding dairy products produced by ODI member plants. Products are judged by industry experts using standardized scoring methods across categories including milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, and ice cream.

The results will be announced and celebrated at the ODI Awards Ceremony during the 114th Annual ODI Conference.

Join us in Salem as we recognize the companies and teams producing some of the finest dairy products in the region.
