Marking the dates with the 2023 Milk Calendar

The 2023 Milk Calendar is now available from the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.

By Andrew Joseph, Farms.com

Perhaps we should have said: Everybody Milk Calendar, seeing as that’s the new catchphrase from the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, who have also released a familiar product.

There’s no reason to be crying over spilled milk should you forget an important anniversary or appointment, because the 2023 Milk Calendar is now available, and is a recipe for success.

The iconic Milk Calendar has become a tradition in Canadian homes, and along with the monthly layout, there are also 13 delicious, dairy-inspired recipes and local ingredients.

As the Dairy Farmers of Ontario note, these recipes offer a simple, wholesome meal for a busy weekday or a special occasion, with something for everyone who appreciates the versatility of local dairy.

This year, the Dairy Farmers of Ontario are focusing on driving digital sign-ups by offering consumers exclusive access to an additional eight bonus recipes.

For those Ontario consumers who sign up for the digital version, they are automatically entered into a contest for a chance to win one of three prizes for free milk for a year. And that ain’t no milk dud.

The Dairy Farmers of Ontario are working alongside its partners—Longo’s, LCBO, and Metro—to drive awareness of the Milk Calendar across digital newsletters and social media platforms throughout October and November.

For more information to access the digital collection and bonus recipes, visit www.calendar.milk.org.
