Turner Dairies, our milk supplier - and the milk supplier favored by just about every quality-focused coffeeshop in town - added to their trophy case this month, taking "First Place, White Milk" at the recently completed World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI.
Turner also won the award in 2004 and 2005. They've won other awards as well. And, as they use milk from local farmers and their product is rBST-free, it's a good fit for shops that want to promote local food sources.
It goes without saying (but maybe it isn't said enough) that if the coffeehouse you choose is going to invest in great beans, great equipment and great training, it follows they should have great milk if they truly want to be proud of their cappuccinos and lattes.
We're proud of ours. Thanks Turner Dairies!
Hey! Go Wisconsin! But just remember that it could/should share its milk title with the cranberry. Go Wisconsin, best cranberry state ever. ("According to the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, Wisconsin is the leading producer of cranberries, with nearly half of U.S. production.")

Turner’s has an exclusive partnership with 50 local dairy farms to supply them with raw milk. Several of these local families have been supplying milk since the 1940s and 50s.They are the best ever.
