Yogurt Bar Coming to NY State Fair

Now this is just a yummy idea.

The first-ever New York yogurt bar will debut at this summer's New York State Fair.

The bar, called YO2GO, will offer two types of yogurt – regular vanilla and Greek – made with 100 percent New York milk.

The yogurt bar will be in the Dairy Products Building, which has played host to New York's first-class dairy products since 1976. Two of its most popular exhibits are the butter sculpture and the Rainbow Milk Bar.

“We are very happy to announce that, in addition to buying a fresh cold glass of milk at the Rainbow Milk Bar, fair visitors also will be able to purchase fresh regular and Greek style yogurt with great toppings such as strawberries, blueberries and pineapple,” said Bruce Krupke, chair of the New York State Fair Dairy Products Building Advisory Task Force.

In addition to strawberries, blueberries and pineapple, other toppings will include peach, mango, carrots, black cherry, granola and dark chocolate bits. Low-fat cottage cheese also will be sold at the bar as New York is the largest producer of cottage cheese in the United States.

June is Dairy Month -- Do You Know Where Your Milk is From?

Have you ever wondered exactly where your milk came from?

No, I'm not talking the cow. Of course, that's where it started.

But once it comes out of the cow it goes to a milk plant. So how do you know what plant or dairy your milk came from.

Go to http://whereismymilkfrom.com/# and fill in the code on your milk carton ( the link will help you find the code on your carton or bottle of milk). The click on the Find It button and it will tell you where your milk was processed.  

You also can use this for yogurt, coffee creamer, cottage cheese and ice cream.
