COOK OF THE WEEK - DAIRY MONTH

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 7:44am

June is Dairy Month. June Dairy Month started out as a way to distribute extra milk during the warm months of summer. The commemoration was established in 1937 by grocer organizations sponsoring “National Milk Month.” By 1939, June became the official “dairy month.”
Whether it’s in coffee, cereal or smoothies, adding one more serving of milk to your family’s day can help ensure they get the nutrients they need to build strong bones and teeth. Trusted for decades, dairy farm families pride themselves on producing wholesome dairy foods that help their families grow up strong and healthy.
Dairy Month promotes the positive aspects of dairy food, from its wide-ranging availability to nutritional value, and encourages you to make a range of dairy food part of a balanced diet. Ever since 1939 when June became the official “dairy month” June Dairy Month has encouraged families to make milk their first beverage choice based on its nutrition and value.
