June Dairy Month

The original celebration of “June Dairy Month” started back in the late 1930’s as a movement to help include more dairy products in home across the country and to help distribute more milk during the summer months. Today the month is celebrated across the country in a variety of ways: dairy farm tours, local breakfasts provided by farmers or distributors, ice cream socials and sharing of recipes that include dairy products.

Here are just a few examples of how places across the country are celebrating this month:
