National Dairy Month with Ceci Carmichael

Did you know that the average household makes 55 trips to the store a year and 44 include items from the dairy aisle? Just in time to fuel all of your summer activities, everything from backyard BBQs and pool parties to everything under the sun, it’s time to find some new inspiration in a place you might not expect… your grocer’s dairy aisle!

Dairy products are more than just your average fridge staples. While families are still purchasing milk, eggs and butter – those options have evolved to feature a variety of milk alternatives, organic milks, exotic juice and other beverage options. Cheeses and yogurts have boomed in popularity, and there is additional versatility in the aisle with products such as potatoes, dips, puddings, desserts, cookies, breads, all perfect inspiration for summer entertaining.

Gearing up for Dairy Month in June, Ceci Carmichael will be available on May 31 to tell your viewers about the latest innovations in the dairy aisle. She will discuss the latest ideas to fuel all of your summer activities – everything from appetizers and summer drinks to party menus and snacks on the go…and why the dairy aisle can be the perfect destination for real ingredients, farm-to-table freshness and options for every dietary need.
