Stewart’s Shops won the Best Milk in New York State competition for the third year in a row, one of several honors announced at the 2024 New York State Fair in Syracuse.
Stewart’s also won 1st place for Best Chocolate Milk and Best Flavored Milk.
Additionally, Stewart’s took 1st place for Best Vanilla Ice Cream for our Philly Vanilla, a fan favorite that is chock full of tasty Madagascar vanilla beans. In the Chocolate Ice Cream category, Stewart’s took 2nd place.
The New York State 2024 Dairy Products contest is part of a highly-competitive program run by Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and the New York State Department of Agriculture. This year, there were 176 entries from dairy producers across the state.
The program not only highlights New York’s dairy industry, it ensures the quality of New York dairy products while monitoring milk, cheese and other products for quality and safety.
The Best Milk awards are a testament to the hard work and high standards of the 20 local dairy farms who supply Stewart’s with raw milk every day.
“This recognition is humbling. It also is an opportunity to recognize the dedication of the farmers who support us and our partners who work so hard to ensure our milk and ice cream are the best they can be,” said Chad Kiesow, chief operating officer at Stewart’s Shops.
The Best Flavored Milk and Best Chocolate Milk awards shine a spotlight on the wide variety of Stewart’s milk products from our strawberry milk and iced latte milk to our premium eggnog, which we make year-round!
