Murray Goulburn, produces milk, butter and cheese, and is one of the largest processors in the country.
Earlier this year the dairy industry reversed its position on the introduction of GM crops.
Louise Sales from Greenpeace says today's protest at Murray Goulburn's headquarters is an attempt to secure a meeting with management.
"We believe they should be representing consumers, and consumers have made it clear they don't want to eat GE food," she says.
