Dairy Farmers of Ontario Makes Milk & Cookies Mean Even More With Annual Holiday Donation and Heartwarming Pop-up

TORONTO,  This season, in the spirit of spreading holiday cheer and supporting our communities, Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) will make a donation of $500,000 to The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and other Ontario children's hospitals in Hamilton (McMaster Children's Hospitals), London (Children's Hospital) and Ottawa (CHEO). Since 2019, DFO's total donations through the Milk & Cookies campaign will exceed $3 million, supporting the highest priority needs across the hospitals and supporting children and families spending the holidays in Ontario hospitals. 

To make the magical ritual of leaving milk and cookies out for Santa mean even more, DFO is bringing back the Magic Milk Glasses. DFO invites Ontarians to help design these special keepsakes that will be given to children spending the holidays at Ontario children's hospitals. The Magic Milk Glasses feature drawings and matching built-in cookie cutters, drawn by children from across the province, so the tradition of putting out milk and cookies for Santa can be experienced by all. 

This holiday season, Dairy Farmers of Ontario are also hosting their first-ever Magic Milk Truck experience, a mobile pop-up stopping at Shops at Don Mills on Saturday, November 23 at 10:00 AM, where families can enjoy complimentary milk and cookies, and have the opportunity to design and submit their own Magic Milk Glass drawing.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
