The mission of the NEDFRC is to conduct research and to work with the industry to implement results of research to maintain and increase utilization of milk produced on dairy farms in the United States and particularly the Northeast.

The Northeast Dairy Foods Research Center (NEDFRC), a cooperative research and extension effort between Cornell University and the University of Vermont, began operating in 1988. The NEDFRC is one of six dairy product research centers across the country established by the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board, now known as Dairy Management, Inc. (DMI) in cooperation with universities and dairy food manufacturers. DMI and all its activities are supported by funds from the dairy farmers of America.
