Where freshness meets efficiency
We combine our state-of-the-art technology with outside-the-box thinking to help you anticipate demand, reduce waste, and ensure product availability where and when it's needed. We seamlessly integrate your products into our system, treating them with the same meticulous care as many of the Organic Valley® and Organic Prairie® goods.
We understand that every brand’s growth and journey looks different. We partner closely with you to develop customized logistics solutions that align with your specific requirements and goals. You have the freedom to tap into our expertise as much or as little as you need.
Almost all of the goods we transport, including many Organic Valley® and Organic Prairie® products, are refrigerated, perishable products with a relatively short shelf life. We understand that for producers of products with a shorter shelf-life, managing inventory strategically is vital to ensure products are sold within their guarantee date, reducing waste and maintaining product quality.
All of the technology in the world can’t replace the expertise and strategic minds of our Logistics Specialists. At every turn, your dedicated Logistics Specialist is thinking about how to optimize your shipments so you get the biggest bang for your buck. If an order is running behind schedule or can't be fulfilled due to unforeseen circumstances, we’re on it, redistributing as needed and giving you the power to make profitable decisions.
Bring in your pre-palletized orders and let us take it from there. We’ll take care of inventory management, freight consolidation and final delivery.
CROPP Cooperative’s state-of-the-art, sustainably powered distribution center is the hub of our Inventory Management solutions. It’s available to all clients who use our Transportation services. It’s the very same warehouse we use to store many Organic Valley® and Organic Prairie® products. We don't just transport goods; we safeguard the quality, integrity, and reputation of your products.
Whether you're a small farmer, a boutique brand, or anyone in between, freshness matters. It's the heart and soul of your business. Our system doesn't just keep things organized; it's your secret weapon for ensuring that what goes out is as fresh as the morning dew on a meadow. Our approach is simple: first in, first out. It's like a carefully choreographed dance for your products.
Your goods are received into the Warehouse Management System and assigned a License Plate Number for traceability. If there’s ever a recall or the need to know where the pallet has been throughout its life cycle, the LPN stores that data. The WMS is lot controlled, and absolute FEFO (First Expired First Out) is utilized.
We operate year-round.

It's a pricing and logistics wizard that helps us deliver your products on time and within budget, no matter how complex the puzzle.
