OPINION: What is happening with Organic Dairy Hub?
According to its website, ODH has ceased its retail operations. The website says a farmer log-in feature is still alive but it doesn’t seem to be working.
In early 2021, ODH – made up of a small group of North Island organic farmers – launched a new dairy brand, hopeful that one day it would become a household name. Called ‘Ours Truly’, its first product is ‘A3’ – fresh, full cream milk, delivered via door-to- door subscription. It seems this strategy has backfired.
ODH collects milk daily from its farmer base, stretching from Northland to Wairarapa. About 20% of the milk is turned into milk powders and nutritional products, which are processed at Waikato Innovation Park in Ruakura. These were generally exported to Australia and Asia.
