Dairy is good for you and good for the planet. ❤️

U.S. dairy farm families care about fostering a sustainable future for generations to come. Thanks to innovative farming practices, the environmental impact of producing a gallon of milk in 2017 shrunk significantly, requiring:

💧 30% less water
🌱 21% less land
🌎 19% smaller carbon footprint

...than it did in 2007 with the initiative to become carbon neutral or better by 2050.

22 million kids receive free or reduced-cost meals at school. 📚 But less than 4 million kids receive similar meals through Summer Food Service Programs, leaving a gap of 18 million children who may not know where their meals will come from over the summer.

#DYK FREE meals are available for Michigan students? 📍 Find a Meet Up and Eat Up site in your neighborhood by searching the @michdepted map through the 🔗 in our bio.

Dairy products are an accessible, affordable choice of nutrition including high-quality protein, calcium and vitamin D that benefit health and wellness. 🐄

A team of researchers from @virginia.tech and @usdagov found that eliminating cows would only reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by a mere 0.7% while seriously reducing the supply of various essential nutrients that milk provides.

Learn more about how the absence of dairy cows would impact nutrition and the environment, 🔗 in bio.

Dairy is local.

#DYK that most of the milk you buy at the grocery store in Michigan comes from Michigan? Our 1,200 dairy farm families and nearly 90 dairy processing plants in the state work hard to get fresh products to lunchrooms and grocery stores year-round. 🥛 97% of Michigan dairy farms are family-owned. When you purchase dairy foods you not only “buy local” and support area farmers, you buy #PureMichigan quality. ❤️

How can you tell if the gallon of milk was processed in Michigan? ✋ Each container of milk is identified by a 5-digit code. The code includes a 2-digit state code followed by a 3-digit processing plant code. Milk packaged in Michigan is identified by the state code 26.

We wish you a GRATE #NationalCheeseDay! 🧀

Our friend @jennywiththegoodeats and the de Jongs, a Michigan dairy farm family, walked us through how to make a #cheesefrittata with leftovers you may have in your fridge! They also show us what cows eat. 🐄 Did you know cows can be fed leftovers too that would otherwise be sent to a landfill? 🔗 to the full video in our bio.
