Every June, we celebrate National Dairy Month, a time to recognize the delicious and nutritious role dairy plays in our lives—and to honor the hardworking farmers who make it all possible.

From creamy yogurt and rich cheeses to refreshing milk and decadent ice cream, dairy products are packed with essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D. They help build strong bones, support muscle function, and keep us energized throughout the day.

National Dairy Month began in 1937 as a way to promote milk consumption during the summer. Today, it’s a full-blown celebration of the entire dairy industry. Across the country, communities host farm tours, dairy tastings, and educational events to connect people with where their food comes from.

So this June, raise a glass of milk, try a new cheese, or whip up a dairy-filled recipe. It’s the perfect time to enjoy the goodness of dairy and support local farmers.

Cheers to dairy—fresh, local, and always delicious!
