Michigan Dairy Has Big Benefits for Your Family

This is Part 6 of our series sponsored by United Dairy Industry of Michigan/Milk Means More’s First 1,000 Days educational initiative.

Looking for a way to nourish your growing family and support your community at the same time? Say hello to Michigan dairy! 

Whether you’re expecting, breastfeeding or feeding your little one, Michigan dairy is packed with essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D that help build strong bones and support healthy development during those critical first 1,000 days.

But it’s not just about your family’s health — it’s about sustainability and supporting local Michigan dairy farmers too. When you choose Michigan-made dairy, you’re helping local farmers who practice sustainable farming methods to keep our land and communities thriving. It’s a choice that benefits your child’s health, your state’s economy and the environment.

Tip: Want to make sure your dairy products are truly local? Next time you’re at the store, look for the “26” code on milk cartons, yogurt, cheese and other dairy items. It’s the easiest way to know you’re getting fresh, Michigan-made dairy that supports sustainable farming.

Fuel your family’s growth while supporting Michigan’s farmers and a sustainable future — it’s a choice you can feel good about every day!
