The Holiday Season is upon us, which means it’s time for family gatherings and also more time spent in the kitchen. Sharing more about Farm to Holiday Meals with Wisconsin Butter is the 75th Alice in Dairyland, Taylor Schaefer.
Wisconsin is known as America’s Dairyland, but it is also known as America’s Butterland.
“Wisconsin has over 13 butter processing plants and is one of the top 2 butter producers in the United States,” says Schaefer. “Butter is made from simple ingredients: cream and salt. On average, Americans consume 6.5 pounds of butter annually.”
Butter boards are a new internet trend but Schefer says they are more than that. Butter boards are a great way to entertain your family while supporting Wisocnsn’s dairy industry.
“There are so many different ways to experiment with your butter boards at home – whether you enjoy honey and mint, red onion and cilantro, or any other combination of toppings, they are easily customizable to what you and your family like to eat,” says Schefer.
While you’re shopping for all of your holiday essentials, look for the Proudly Wisconsin Dairy badge or the number “55” on packaging to identify genuine Wisconsin dairy products. Buying local is a great way to contribute to your local economy, and support Wisconsin’s farmers and small businesses.
