Nutrition Educator with the St. Louis Dairy Council Joyce Fikery was a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show Monday Morning. Fikery talked about how people often don’t think of dairy products when thinking about buying local products at their grocery store.

Fikery stated how often times shoppers are unaware of where the milk they buy in the grocery store comes from, and how that can sometimes be caused by a lack of interaction between local dairy farmers, and the consumers of their product.

Fikery did mention how you can easily check what state your milk was produced in by checking the code printed on the top of the milk jug.
