Thise Mejeri

There are two dairies in the village Thise. They are located on the same cadastral number. One has been there since 1887 - the second came about 100 years later - in 1988. 
The "old" dairy called dairy Dybbækdal - the "young" states Thise Dairy. 
Dairies share cadastral number, buildings and equipment, but there is two strictly separate companies in close cooperation. The dairy Dybbækdal is a privately owned conventional dairy, a limited liability company over the past decades exclusively produced Danbo cheeses in many different forms. The cheeses are sold in the domestic market and in Germany. Thise Dairy is a dairy cooperative, owned by the 87 organic farmers who supply milk to the dairy. The dairy is 100% organic and production consists of 85 different products from categories: Butter, cheese, fermented products and drink milk. The products are sold domestically and on the export markets. Denmark's first dairy cooperative was created in 1882. Five years later, the dairy Dybbækdal listed. Everywhere in Denmark was established dairies in subsequent decades. The development culminated in the 30s, when there were a total almost 1,600 dairies in Denmark.Each parish had its milk. Since it went downhill ... The dairy Dybbækdal had in 1968 merged with Skiveegnens Dairy Company, but instead of a closure, the dairy transformed into private dairy.Dairy manager was dairy owner. 20 years later got dairy owner visits by seven organic farmers - a visit that marked the beginning of the organic Thise Dairy. In a corner of the private dairy started Thise Dairy under modest conditions. Today - 20 years later - the roles between the two firms reversed. Thise Dairy has grown increasingly, whereas dairy Dybbækdal has been at a distinctly stabilized for decades. The country's first organic dairies was developed in close cooperation between conventional private dairies and pioneers of organic farming. Such was the example. Grindsted Milk in North Jutland and at Thise Dairy. On Thise Dairy continue the cooperation between the two companies in mutual respect and in a clear recognition that without the conventional Dybbækdal was Thise Dairy never been to. Thise Dairy is running at its 21st year as a 100% organic business - Dybbækdal has started its season no. 122!
