17 OCTOBER 2024: Ever wondered where your fresh milk comes from? Well, quite a few customers in Milton do care, and they've been asking IGA Milton staff members to point out which brands of milk, sold in-store, are produced locally.
These regular in-store customer interactions prompted IGA Milton's team to do more than just point at a particular carton of milk in the dairy cabinet.
With amazing energy and enthusiasm, Team IGA Milton reached out to Farmer Rob and the other local dairy farmers - the Andersons and the Murrays - to get them involved in IGA Milton's promotion of "support local farms" and "buy local milk" to their customers .

And what a fantastic effort by the team at IGA Milton.
There were photographs.
And posters.
And social media posts.
Plus promotional materials near the dairy cabinet featuring the brands and products to which local dairy farms supply fresh milk.
When you next pop into IGA Milton, be assured that the team in-store has gone the extra mile to ensure that when you buy milk, you'll know which branded products are produced with fresh milk from Milton's local dairy farms.
To Team IGA Milton: thank you for supporting local dairy farms.
