Albert Straus, founder of Straus Family Creamery, was honored with the Organic Lifetime Achievement Award for over three decades of pioneering organic and carbon-neutral dairy farming. He transformed his family farm into the first certified organic dairy west of the Mississippi, advanced methane digesters and carbon farm plans, and now aims for net-neutral emissions across supplying farms by 2030, promoting farmer viability, climate innovation, and high-quality organic products.
