June Dairy Month

June Dairy Month is a great time to pay tribute to our dairy farm families. We know you work hours on end to provide our nation and our globe with a healthy, wholesome product.

You can join the June Dairy Month conversation this month by sharing your favorite dairy recipes with others, engaging in conversation about your dairy via social media, or by attending a dairy event!

According to Midwest Dairy™ Association, June Dairy Month started out as a promotion to help distribute extra milk when cows started on pasture in the warm summer months. Today, its rich history continues, with communities, companies and people from all over the country observing June Dairy Month in a variety of ways. In the Midwest, dairy farms and families often open their gates to visitors at breakfasts and tours, while stores and other business feature dairy products. Learn more about June Dairy Month and gain access to hi-res downloadable graphics at Midwest Dairy™ Association's website.
