Dairy Excellence Foundation

Did you know less than two percent of the U.S. population is directly involved in production agriculture? You can help us change that number. Empowering the next generation of dairy farmers starts with the education they receive today. Help us build a brighter future for the Pennsylvania dairy industry!

The Center for Dairy Excellence Foundation of Pennsylvania exposes students to agriculture-related careers and inspires the producers, consumers, and advocates of tomorrow. From school-age children who are exploring agriculture and dairy farming for the first time – and learning where exactly their milk comes from – to the high school and college students who are finding their footing and searching for a career in the dairy industry that connects to their passions, your support makes a difference. 

With your support, the Foundation is able to provide:

• Creative programming such as the growing "Adopt a Cow" program that impacts 2+ million students
• Career preparation resources
• Internship and scholarship opportunities
• Curriculum, courses and classroom-based activities to help students learn about dairy and agriculture
• On-farm events and hands-on agriculture learning experiences
