National Dairy Week runs from the 12th – 18th May, 2014. Organised by The National Council in association with SuperValu, the week creates an opportunity to showcase the excellence of our pasture based dairy farming and produce – from farm to fridge; and also to highlight the quality, versatility and nutritious benefits of dairy within our lives, as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Thanks are also extended to The Irish Nutrition & Dietetic Institute (INDI), Agri Aware, Macra Na Feirme and Teagasc who are all developing initiatives to support the campaign. The NDC is encouraging members of the farming and co-op community to get behind
National Dairy Week at whatever level possible.
