It only takes about 48 hours for milk to travel from the farm to you. Use the additional resources and activities below to help your students understand where their milk comes from and the role dairy farm families play in producing a wholesome, nutritious product that goes from the farm to glass in as little as two days.

Discover Dairy

Bring the dairy farm into your classroom with Discover Dairy! This resource for educators includes the popular Adopt A Cow Program, dairy education curriculum incorporating Common CORE and STEM standards, and a variety of activities and videos targeted to Elementary and Middle School students.
