About Us

What is New England Dairy & Food Council?

New England Dairy & Food Council (NEDFC) is a non-profit nutrition education organization supported by the dairy farmers of New England and Eastern New York. Staffed by registered dietitians, we work in five New England states to ensure that health professionals, scientists, media, child nutrition professionals and educators have a credible body of nutrition knowledge upon which to educate or base health recommendations and school programs.

Our Goals

• Provide the latest science-based nutrition information and research to a variety of audiences.
• Develop effective and exciting nutrition and wellness programs
• Educate consumers, media, educators, school administrators and health professionals about the health benefits of dairy via presentations, science-based articles and other materials.

Our sister organization New England Dairy Promotion Board (NEDPB) is a not-for-profit (IRS 501c6) marketing and promotion company with offices in Uxbridge, MA and Winooski, VT. NEDPB is the local affiliate of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Management, Inc., based in Chicago, IL. For more information about NEDPB visit www.NewEnglandDairy.com.
