Got Milk…From Where?

Our team was on a call with the Indiana Grown and learned about a really cool tool available online. It will show you the exact farm your milk came from based on a code on the side of your jug of milk.

How it works…
From the cow to your mouth…
In five easy steps…
Udder to pail. Pail to dairy. Dairy to grocery store. Grocery store to fridge. Fridge to mouth. We’ll let you take it from there.

So where is your milk from?

Locate the code on your carton or container, enter it on this site and click Find It. You’ll instantly know which dairy your milk came from! The same goes for your yogurt, chocolate milk, soy or organic milk, coffee creamer, cottage cheese, ice cream, and more!

Convenient Store Shopping and Buying American

Let’s take a walk through a convenient store, while stopping to get fuel.

The next time you stop and get a drink and a snack while our significant other is pumping gas.

With every purchase we make, we actively choose where our money goes and who’s economy we are supporting. We are going to take a look at our labels and find out the origin of the snack we will walk out of here with.

Gummy Bears – Haribo Gummies, Company name is Haribo of America, Inc.

They are shown here Made in Turkey, UK and Germany. This one is a little deceiving.

Albanese gummies are proudly Made in the USA.

Chocolate- Hershey’s can you please reshore the Reese’s?? They laid off a tremendous number of employees(about 1500) and moved manufacturing to Mexico. This hurts our chocolate and our economy! So now, what is my US alternative? Boyer manufactures their chocolate right here in the USA! Nestle’s Butterfinger Peanut Butter cups are made here in the USA too!

Drinks- Thankfully we still have most of our favorite brands of drinks that are still manufactured here, let’s see what the research says just to make sure.

Coca-cola was originally manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. But now they have bottling plants all over the world, so most likely the bottle of Coke you are enjoying was produced not far from where you live.

Pepsi, PepsiCo Beverages North America; Frito-Lay North America; Quaker Foods North America; Latin America; Europe Sub-Saharan Africa; and Asia, Middle East and North Africa. Chances are you Pepsi was made close by as well.

Buying Local
