Wisconsin Cheese Starts with the Best Quality Milk

For nearly 200 years, generations of Wisconsin dairy farmers have provided local cheesemakers with the superior quality milk they need to craft exceptional specialty cheese. Today our state is home to nearly a quarter of the nation's total dairy farms, 95% of which are family owned. Our farm families understand the importance of keeping cows healthy and comfortable, as well as managing land and water resources. Their stringent standards ensure Wisconsin cheese and dairy products begin with safe, quality, wholesome milk.

Meet the families behind Wisconsin dairy and learn about their dedication to their animals, environment and communities.
