For Reporters:
No two Washington dairy farms are the same, because each farmer brings their unique skills and passion to the work. They do have a few things in common, though: a commitment to cows, the environment, the community, and farmers producing amazing milk to make cheese, ice cream, butter, and all the products we love.
