June Dairy Month
June is National Dairy Month – the perfect time to celebrate the delicious dairy foods that fuel our shopper's bodies and minds. Not only is dairy delicious and nutritious, it's also responsibly produced and local! This makes it a natural tie-in to IGA's new Local Equals Fresh branding.
How IGA is Celebrating June Dairy Month
With the help of Midwest Dairy, IGA will be sharing dairy insights, recipes and more on IGA.com so shoppers can see just how easy it is to incorporate more dairy into their daily diets.
