Celebrate Dairy This Summer: Yard Signs and Free Materials

Center Offering Limited Supply to Help in Promoting June Dairy Month

With National Dairy Month approaching in June and to showcase how dairy is goodness that matters locally, the Center for Dairy Excellence has several free resources to help dairy producers share their stories with their community. Free yard signs, as well as rack cards and posters, that feature “Choose PA Dairy” messaging and statistics are available at no cost to dairy farm families and industry professionals.

The following resources are available while supplies last:

• Request free “Choose PA Dairy” yard signs to display at the end of your lane, outside your farm store or business, or in a flower bed so those visiting can see it.
• Request free posters and rack cards with “Choose PA Dairy” messages, stories and photos of PA dairy farmers while supplies last.
• Share Discover Dairy’s free “Adopt A Cow” program with families and teachers in your community. Enrollment opened May 1, and postcards to share the program are available.
• Share a photo or a few sentences about how your family is celebrating June Dairy Month or connecting with the community to share on social media.

“The 4,940 dairy farm families across the state of Pennsylvania work every day to produce fresh, nutritious products, and it’s important for us to showcase how dairy is goodness that matters locally,” said Emily Barge, Communications and Marketing Manager at the Center for Dairy Excellence. “These resources are simple ways you can connect with families in your area and share your story throughout June Dairy Month and beyond.”

The yard signs, posters and rack cards help promote how dairy farms contribute to our communities. They include a QR code linking back to a webpage where folks can see how dairy contributes to the local community in each county and across the state. All material is available at no cost and can be mailed to you while supplies last. Limited quantities are available. Visit www.centerfordairyexcellence.org/june-dairy-month to request all Choose PA Dairy material or call 717-346-0849.
