Good Makes Good
Good Culture is on a mission to reinvent the food system from the (actual) ground up. We care deeply about the health of people, animals and our planet, and are committed to a business model that does good.
Path to Pasture
Since 2015, Good Culture is proud to have partnered with 1% For The Planet, donating 1% of our organic revenue to nonprofit organizations driving positive change for our planet and future generations.
In partnership with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), Good Culture and DFA launched Path to Pasture and is currently available to farms in the Minnesota, Illinois, Kentucky and SE Milksheds. Path to Pasture supports DFA farmer owners who are interested in enhancing soil health and implementing more efficient use of pasture, allowing more cows on more pasture more often.
