Moo-ve over May – June is Dairy Month!

Celebrate Dairy Month the Wisconsin Way!

Let’s raise a glass (of milk, of course) to the hardworking farmers and cheesemakers who keep our fridges full and our hearts happy.

Hey there, Cheddarheads! Are you ready to celebrate the true spirit of Wisconsin? June is Dairy Month, and there's no better place to indulge in all things dairy than right here in America's Dairyland!

According to the State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCAP), we're home to over 5,600 dairy farms and nearly 1,200 licensed cheesemakers. That's a whole lot of cheese and milk flowing through our veins!

But what does all this mean for you? Well, if you've been supporting these farmers and cheesemakers by shopping at one of the 105 Pick ‘n Save and Metro Market stores across the state, you're already doing your part! But let's dive into the dairy goodness that's available right in our backyard:

Fresh From the Farm

  • Roundy’s Brand Milk: Produced in Cedarburg, our milk comes from local Wisconsin farms. It's so fresh that it arrives in stores within 24 hours, guaranteeing freshness for 10 days from the date of purchase. Talk about farm to fridge in a flash!
  • Roundy’s Shredded Cheeses: Made in Plymouth, our shredded cheeses are a shopper favorite. Whether you prefer four cheese Mexican, mild cheddar, or parmesan, these cheeses are perfect for any recipe, including cheese crisps.

Party-Ready Cheese Pairings

Our cheese mongers at Murray’s Cheese have curated some “udderly” delicious pairing suggestions to elevate your celebrations:

Versatile Cheeses for Any Dish
