National Dairy Month is here! 🥛🐄

Since 1939, National Dairy Month has encouraged families to make milk their beverage of choice because of its nutritional value. Today, we continue that tradition by celebrating the hardworking dairy farmers who provide us with nutritious dairy products every day.

Throughout the Southeast, dairy farm families open their gates to visitors, local fairs and festivals feature dairy taste-testing events, and communities come together to recognize the important role dairy plays in our lives and economy.

This June, join us in paying tribute to South Carolina's dairy farmers and the generations of families dedicated to producing safe, wholesome milk and dairy products. Be sure to check out our flyer to learn some interesting facts about South Carolina's dairy industry!

Throughout the month, we'll be sharing dairy facts, industry highlights, and fun educational information about South Carolina dairy farming, so be sure to follow along and learn something new!

Thank you to our dairy farmers for their commitment to feeding our communities and caring for their animals every day. 💙🐄🥛
