Washington dairy products are crafted with care.
As the second most popular commodity in the state of Washington, dairy provides approximately 18,000 jobs that support our communities. Washington is home to over 300 family-owned dairy farms that provide the fresh milk that is used to make all of our favorite dairy products — like cheese, yogurt, kefir, and ice cream (just to name a few). Go behind the scenes of a local dairy processing plant by watching the videos below.
