C Is For Cookie

I'm taking you on a journey from A to Z through the land of dairy! 

There's no need to pack your bags, just come along! 

 C Is For Cookie

In honor of June Dairy Month, Bremer Farms provides cookies and milk (of course) to our church friends after the Sunday morning services on the first Sunday of June. This has become an annual event and a fun way to share our dairy story. We provide recipe booklets, bookmarks, coloring sheets for the kids, and every one goes home with an "I met a dairy farmer" sticker. 

 Many folks share stories of growing up on a farm, or visiting Grandpa's farm for summer vacation. Others ask many questions about farming because they have never had a personal connection to farming. 

Either way, my hope is that everyone goes home with a little better understanding about dairy farming, dairy foods, and realizes how proud we are of what we do and that we love what we do, down on the farm.
