October 12th is National Farmer’s Day! We are grateful for all farmers – big and small, especially our local dairy farmers that ensure we have great quality fresh milk in our stores! Milk is a delicious choice; an affordable, convenient and sustainable drink that has been an important part of foodways around the world for thousands of years. We have some great products in our milk case and dairy aisle – see the insights below as we spotlight a few choices for you!
Good to know – Dairy farmers work 365 days per year, taking great care of their cows and ensuring the highest quality and safety standards from cow to cup. Dairy farmers are also continually driving the science and practices that make dairy farming sustainable in every way possible. Learn more about the many ways dairy farms are ensuring sustainability is top of mind! Dairy Farming Environmental Impact | American Dairy Association NE.
Chocolate Milk is a wellbeing champion! It is the most popular drink in schools, which is good news – it is the leading source of critical nutrients for millions of school children. Milk and chocolate milk fuel growth and hydration, offering a thirteen-nutrient package that includes protein for muscle growth, calcium and magnesium that build lifelong bone health, and Vitamin D and potassium, two nutrients that are often below intake recommendations for children and adults. Research shows that children who drink chocolate milk have higher overall nutrient intakes than those who do not, while keeping adding sugars to a minimum.
Lactose-free Milk – Some people have challenges digesting lactose, the natural sugar in milk. This is called Lactose Intolerance. It is not an allergic reaction – it is very manageable using real milk products that have reduced that lactose content, along with strategies that can even help restore lactose digestion over time. Lactose-free milk can be a game changer, ensuring those with this issue can still enjoy milk and get all its nutrition benefits. Dairy products that are naturally low in lactose, such as natural cheese and yogurts, can usually be enjoyed by those navigating this concern.

Kutik’s Honey Farm: Norwich, NY
When Chuck Kutik received two bee hives as a Christmas present, his love and fascination for bees took off. The family business has been up and running since 1978, and extraction and bottling of honey began in 1979. In 2001, Kutik began pollination services for cantaloupes, watermelons, cucumbers and squash in South Carolina where he lived. Their mission is to honor the honey bee and everything they have to offer!
We are proud to partner with Kutik’s Honey Farm!
The Beekeeper’s Daughter: Plains, PA
William Perry Sr. started the family honey business in 1950. However, what started as a small family business developed into something much, much bigger.
Hannah, founder of The Beekeeper’s Daughter, began her business in 2010 when she noticed there was a high demand for local honey. Hannah started bottling honey to local farmers, but The Beekeeper’s Daughter eventually took off. Today, she sells honey throughout the United States and online.
We are proud to partner with The Beekeeper’s Daughter!
