National Dairy Quality Awards - 2024

We are so honored to receive a National Dairy Quality Award! I am so proud of Kris and our wonderful team. The award is for consistently producing high quality milk, measured by quality, udder health, milking routine and protocols, and strategies for overall herd health and welfare. 

Evergreen Dairy received a Silver Award, and this is the fourth year we’ve been a recipient.

Thanks to Lindsay Green at MMPA, the NMC and sponsors, and our entire team on and off the farm!

National Dairy Quality Awards!

We are honored and thrilled to be a recipient of the National Dairy Quality Awards! We received a Gold, and this is our third year in a row of being recognized.

We were nominated by Brittni Tucker at our co-op, and the description reads: "These operations stood out for having produced high-quality milk consistently Applications were evaluated for measures of quality, systems of monitoring udder health, milking routine, protocols for detection and treatment of clinical and subclinical cases of mastitis, and strategies for overall herd health and welfare."

Thank you to the sponsors, especially Hoard's Dairyman, and thank you especially to our team members. It's because of their dedication and attention to detail that our cows are so well cared for and produce such great, high-quality milk. 

National Dairy Quality Awards

I'm so excited, because our farm won a National Dairy Quality Award - Gold!

I am so, so proud of Kris and every single one of our team members for their dedication to producing quality milk. 

As the introduction here says, farms were evaluated on quality measures, systems of monitoring udder health, milking routine, protocols for detection and treatment of mastitis, and strategies for overall herd health and welfare. We're also judged on milk components, and these numbers can only be achieved by the amazing work of our team members who are actually in the parlor, every day, three times a day.

Thank you to them, and thanks to you for drinking and eating dairy products!

This week we went to Orlando, Florida to the NMC meeting to receive the award.  They had a really nice ceremony, and it was great talking with all the other farmers, sponsors, and conference attendees.  It is really such an honor, and we feel so fortunate to have such a great team and wonderful support.
