Homecoming of the NDC and
Kerrygold Milk Quality Award 2020

Ornua and the National Dairy Council (NDC) announced the Starrett family, supplying Aurivo Co-op, as the winner of the 2020 NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards. Now in its 11th year, the awards, dubbed the ‘Oscars of the Dairy World’, acknowledge, and celebrate the highest standards of excellence in dairy farming.

The 2020 shortlist was made up of 11 dairy farming families representing 11 dairy co-ops nationwide. All farming finalists underwent a detailed assessment by an expert judging panel including Professor Pat Wall from UCD, Dr David Gleeson from Teagasc and Dr Jack Kennedy, Deputy Editor of the Irish Farmers Journal. Each of the finalists were judged on sustainable farming practices, milk quality, technical knowledge and animal welfare on-farm practices.
