Governor Janet Mills Friday, May 29, kicked off Dairy Month in Maine with a celebratory toast of Maine milk. The toast was in honor of the Maine people behind a cornerstone of Maine’s agricultural economy and rural communities.
The Governor urged Maine people to show their support for Maine’s Dairy Industry by purchasing award-winning cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter, and other dairy products made with Maine milk. Milk bottled in Maine can be identified by a code beginning with the number 23.
Conservation and Forestry Deputy Commissioner Nancy McBrady:
During Dairy Month, we celebrate the hardworking Maine farmers and dairy processors who nourish our communities, strengthen local economies, and help preserve working farmland across our state. I encourage Maine people to support our dairy industry this month and all year long by choosing dairy products made right here in Maine.
