Cream Of The Crop
Recipes
What better time to showcase
American’s dairy farmers, the
dairy industry and its products than
June Dairy Month a celebration
that has been observed nationwide
since 1937.
Lancaster Fanning holds an
annual dairy recipe contest as a
salute to dairy farmers who pro
duce nutritious milk and other
dairy products to make these deli
cious recipes.
We lhank the many readers who
sent in recipes. Each week during
June Dairy Month, a portion of the
entries will be printed. Winners in
the Cow Mania Contest will be
published on June 24.
A special thanks goes to the
readers who wrote something
about themselves and sent a pic
ture. It’s our readers who make this
contest and the dairy recipes a
popular event.
So, during June Dairy Month,
thank a farmer by trying several of
these delectable recipes.
