🧀 Farm Fact Friday... on a Thursday.

Because it's National Cheese Day, we're getting a head start.

Did you know the average American eats about 42 pounds of cheese each year?

That's a lot of pizza, grilled cheese, mac & cheese, and cheese curds.

What's your favorite kind of cheese? 👇

What would your day look like without dairy? 🥛

No cheese on pizza.
No ice cream on a summer night.
No creamer in your coffee.

Dairy touches more of our daily lives than we realize — and behind every glass, scoop, and slice are hardworking dairy farm families helping feed our communities every single day.

This June Dairy Month, we’re saying thank you to the local dairy farmers who help keep rural communities strong. 💚
