June is National Dairy Month! This annual event celebrates the dairy industry, our hardworking farmers, and the nutritious dairy foods we all know and enjoy. The first of June is also World Milk Day, which recognizes the importance of milk as a global food.
Throughout the month, New England Dairy is connecting consumers to dairy by showcasing the contributions of farmers across Vermont through op-eds, earned media, and social media campaigns. The messaging will focus on topics that are top-of-mind for consumers, including sustainability, cow care, and the countless ways farmers connect with their communities.
With less than two percent of the U.S. population currently involved in agriculture, National Dairy Month is an opportunity for farmers to promote their work. New England Dairy has curated a variety of resources – including nutrition information, recipes, social media posts, and more – to help farmers share their dairy stories and spread the love of dairy this month.
