5 Reasons to Celebrate National Dairy Month
Appreciating those who feed our communities
From our flavorful Wisconsin Cheese Curds to our decadent Fresh Frozen Custard, it’s no secret that the dairy industry plays a big role in what we do here at Culver’s. Because of the hard work and dedication of Wisconsin dairy farmers, we’re able to bring tasty bites to your table every time you stop in. Each June, we come together during National Dairy Month to celebrate the impact dairy farmers have on the community, and this year we want you to join us!
Here are five reasons to celebrate National Dairy Month:
1. National Dairy Month helps us appreciate the tradition of dairy farming
Dairy farming in Wisconsin dates back to the mid-1800s and has been an essential part of the state’s agricultural framework ever since. Spanning centuries, dairy farming traditions continue to be passed down through generations of families and communities, and Culver’s strives to keep these traditions alive by serving wholesome foods featuring quality dairy. We celebrate National Dairy Month every year to honor the dairy farmers who make menu items like our delicious ButterBurgers® and decadent Fresh Frozen Custard possible.
2. Farmers are leaders in sustainable innovation
Through initiatives like USFRA’s Decade of Ag movement, farmers are paving the way for a more sustainable future. By continually looking for ways to make their practices more resilient, farmers across the country are ensuring the longevity of America’s agricultural industry. This means more delicious food for their communities for years to come!
3. The dairy industry impacts our communities in a big way
Dairy farms around Wisconsin and the country work to produce high-quality, great-tasting food for our communities. With a majority of these farms being family-owned, there is a great deal of importance placed on serving their communities. Dairy farms help support communities by creating jobs, supporting local businesses, stimulating the economy and making a lasting impact that goes beyond their product. Combine that with a commitment to sustainability and you’ve got a big reason to celebrate, with National Dairy Month being just one of the many ways we show our appreciation for farmers throughout the year. Check out another way in which we honor farmers – our To Farmers With Love Contest.
4. Some of our favorite foods come from Wisconsin dairy farms
What’s a Wisconsin Cheese Curd without the unique, savory delights of Wisconsin cheese? What’s Fresh Frozen Custard without the farm-fresh milk we all know and love? It’s safe to say our menu wouldn’t be the same without the dedication and passion of our trusted dairy farming partners.
5. You’re supporting local farmers by celebrating with us
Through the Culver’s Thank You Farmers® Project, anytime you eat at Culver’s, you’re supporting the future of agriculture. What better way to celebrate National Dairy Month than with a satisfying meal that tastes good and does good in your community?
Whether it’s picking up fresh dairy from your farmer’s market, indulging in your favorite Flavor of the Day or fresh Cheese Curds at your local restaurant or simply thanking a dairy farmer in your life, there are countless ways you can show appreciation this June for the farmers who produce the farm-fresh dairy we use in our daily lives and in each of our restaurants.
Stop by this June and know that you’re supporting dairy farmers as they continue to produce fresh food for our families year-round.
