Dairy Month is celebrated in June each year to promote the benefits of dairy products and the dairy industry. It highlights the importance of milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy foods in a balanced diet. This month encourages consumers to appreciate the nutritional value of dairy and its role in supporting local farmers. The celebration began in 1937 as a way to stabilize the dairy market during the Great Depression. Today, Dairy Month includes various events, educational programs, and promotions to raise awareness about dairy farming and the health benefits of consuming dairy products.
