Marketing Campaign Update:
Over the summer, the Upstate Niagara membership and marketing departments invited our members to share their farm photos and stories with us for a cooperative wide marketing campaign. While some of these photos and stories are currently featured in the media and on our half gallon milk labels, there is now a section on the commercial web site where consumers can read about our members and their commitment to their farms, animals, and community. The photos and stories that we have received from members thus far can be seen at: http://www.upstatefarms.com/farm-stories/.
For general information about Upstate Niagara and the high quality dairy products that we market, please click on Commercial Site to the left.
