How do we know that farmers are treating their animals right? How do we ensure that the environment is being cared for? How do we know that farmers are putting out quality products that we can trust?

Celebrating 10 years- The National Dairy FARM program helps to ensure that all dairy products that are available are of the highest possible quality, from the animal care, to taking care of the land, to how farmers treat their employees.

This week we sit down with Emily Yeiser Stepp, the Senior Director of The National Dairy FARM Program, to discuss how farmers are actually regulated to ensure that animal care and protecting the environment on dairy farms are of the utmost importance.

“We have a really exciting story to tell [as farmers] and now we have the data to prove that”

“I think we all want to feel good about the products we are purchasing”

“Since 1964 we’ve reduced carbon footprint by 63%, and in just the past ten years we have improved upon that number and have improved certain areas of environmental impact by 10 to 20%”....”That’s an exceptional story and that’s an excellent sustainability story for the industry”

Recipe of the week: EGGNOG!! We love Christmas and Emily shares her favorite dairy recipe is her families Eggnog.
