June is Dairy Month! 97% of milk in the grocery store comes from our local Arizona dairies where the cows make the freshest milk, cheese, and yogurt. A dairy cow will produce 7 gallons of milk every day.

Look at Labels for products with “Milk” in the title: Dairy milk’s ingredient list is short —milk, vitamins A and D. Non-dairy ingredient lists can be much longer and have 10 or more additives. Choose dairy milk, it’s real milk.

It’s summer! Time to find out if a watermelon is ripe by tapping it and listening for the hollow ripe sound. Arizona and California are the largest producers of this centerpiece fruit of your family picnics.

Nutrient-rich pork is versatile, affordable and delicious. Arizona agriculture raises healthy pigs for healthy pork. Put a few pork chops on the grill this evening.

Live in the city? Thank a farmer! Many of Arizona’s biggest urban areas were settled because of irrigated farming. Phoenix started when a farmer grew wheat, barley, and corn with Salt River water.
