Chocolate milk is a superpower recovery beverage, but do you know that the milk in your refrigerator gets from the farm to you in less than 48 hours?
So how does that level of consistency happen?
A staggering 95% of dairy farms are family-owned and operated. These dedicated farmers face unpredictable challenges, from shifting weather patterns to the lack of time off—often working around the clock without the luxury of weekends or holidays.
Farmers play a crucial yet often unseen role in our daily lives, working tirelessly to bring food to our tables. Many of these families have been farming for generations, passing down knowledge, values, and a deep connection to the land. Additionally, many dairy farmers are immigrants who have come to this country to build a better life through hard work and perseverance.
At their core, there’s something deeper that drives dairy farm families: It’s a passion for the work they do, a love for the land they cultivate, and a commitment to feeding the nation. Farming is not just a profession; it’s a way of life that connects people to the earth and to each other.
Check out the video below to take a closer look at what motivates these families to continue farming and bringing fresh dairy products to our table.
