June Dairy Month, The Barn Doors Are Open

We at Bremer Farms, and dairy farms all across the United States are celebrating June Dairy Month!

I'd like to invite you to take time this month to learn more about dairy. Each day during the month of June I will be sharing about our dairy farm family including what we do, how we share our passion for dairy, and dairy foods we enjoy. I'll also share more about our farm and the area where we live.

 

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

So come on in...the barn doors are open!

June Dairy Month is an annual celebration that began in 1937 and serves as a time to reflect on dairy foods and the industry that makes it possible.
Each June we raise our milk glass in a toast to dairy farming and dairy foods.

See you tomorrow!

Meet my friend Bessie...

You may have seen her before...

She's quite a party animal...

 

and she loves dairy!

Bessie is the mascot for Midwest Dairy Association, and she makes an appearance on many of my blog posts. So why does she grace the pages of My Barnyard View, besides the fact that she is so gosh darn cute? 

 

Dairy farmers in the Midwest invest 15 cents for every 100 pounds of milk they sell. Midwest Dairy Association™ (Midwest Dairy) receives 10 cents of this mandatory funding for regional programs. The remaining five cents goes to the National Dairy Board to fund national promotional, research and export programs. 

 

So just like Ford, or Abercrombie, or Culvers- dairy farmers promote their products too. Perhaps you have seen or heard, "Got Milk?" and the famous mustache campaign, or "Ahhh, the power of cheese" or the new "Milk Life" slogan. These are a few examples of how we dairy farmers, with the help of Midwest Dairy and the National Dairy Board, share the good news about dairy foods.

Now, back to Dairy Makes Sense... Dairy Makes Sense is the website sponsored by Midwest Dairy Association. Dairy Makes Sense is filled with videos, nutrition facts, and if you click on the Midwest Dairy Farms tab, you will see photos from dairy farms including our very own Bremer Farms! Don't know what to make for dinner? No problem, there are many dairy recipes on the site also.

 C is for Cookies and Milk

 What could be a more perfect pairing than cookies and milk? 

In honor of June Dairy Month, Bremer Farms provides cookies and milk 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 recipes, coloring sheets for the kids, and every one goes home with an "I met a dairy farmer" sticker. 

Cookies paired with cold, refreshing milk. Yummy!
