Ed and
Melanie Zimba of Zimba Dairy
Deford, Michigan

Ed Zimba is a second-generation farmer. He transitioned his farm from conventional to organic in the 1990s as he learned more about soil health and its impact on the health of his cattle and his customers.

Ed and his wife Melanie operate two organic farms: one is certified organic and the second is certified organic grassfed under American Grassfed Association (AGA). Zimba Dairy has partnered with Horizon Organic since 1999.
