April's harvest of the month is Maine Dairy! In Maine, there are 153 dairy farms located in 15 counties - 53 of them produce organic milk and 36 are sheep, goat or water buffalo dairies. There are over 26,000 cows in Maine making 50 million gallons of milk each year! In the United States, dairy products come primarily from cows, sheep, and goats. In other countries around the world, people consume dairy products made from yak, buffalo, camel, donkey and even reindeer milk! Check out our Dairy Resource Page found HERE, as well as recipes ideas found HERE. Bon appetit!
