Where is Your Milk From?

Local Milk

Have you ever gone to the grocery store and wondered what the numbers on your milk jug mean? 

​

The first two numbers range from 0-56, telling you what state the milk is from, #36 is New York. The series after the dash tells you the dairy farm it came from.

​

From the image to the left, the 36 means it came from NY, and 8185 means that is came from Garelick Farms LLC, which is located in Rensselaer County.
