National Chocolate Milk Day

Chocolate milk: the perfect post-workout recovery drink that happens to come from Virginia dairy farms! 🥛🍫
Fun fact: 90% of Virginia's milk production is consumed as fluid milk. Today we're raising a glass (of chocolate milk, obviously) to our dairy farmers!

Safety saves lives—on the farm and on the road.
🚜 Farmers: Maintain visible SMV signs and use proper turn signals

National Grandparents Day

Some of our fondest memories bloom on grandparents' farms—gathering eggs, riding tractors, learning to can vegetables and discovering where food really comes from. Today we honor the farming grandparents who've passed down not just land, but legacy, wisdom and values. 💚
