Lakeland Dairies creates World Milk Day resource for care homes

Jun 05, 2023

By Edward Waddell

Dairy experts Lakeland Dairies has collaborated with National Activities Provider Association (NAPA) to produce a World Milk Day Resource specifically for care homes.

The resource is designed to ‘inspire’ catering and wellbeing teams to do something a little different. It contains a specialist range of engaging activities including recipes, poetry, a creative writing task, a tasting session and a reminiscence activity all celebrating ‘the goodness of milk’.

World Milk Day (1st June) was established more than 20 years ago by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to recognise the importance of milk as a global food and to celebrate the dairy sector. Globally, dairy supports the livelihood of one billion people.

Everyone who downloads the Lakeland Dairies World Milk Day Resource will be automatically entered into a free prize draw for a chance to win a case (6 x 2kg bags) of Lakeland Dairies 100% Dairy Skimmed Milk Powder. Download the resource and enter the draw here.

Video: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
