My milk comes from ____________.

by kiwilog

Ever wonder where your dairy products come from? If you said cows—you’re right, smartypants, but I’m talking about the location: City, state, and even processing center. Next time you pull open a container of yogurt (or ice cream, or cottage cheese, or even soymilk!), look for the code above the sell-by date. Then, enter it at whereismymilkfrom.com.

Why bother? For one, it’s just interesting. But it’ll also help you to make more educated purchasing choices (did you know that lots of different dairy brands come from the same processing center—and even the same cows?) to save money and choose products that are made closer to home. It’s pretty simple, so give it a try!
