Stewart’s Shops is proud to announce winning the award for Best Milk in New York State for the fifth year in a row. To celebrate with our customers, we are offering double punches on our Milk Club Card during the week of September 14 through September 20, 2026.
That means if you purchase a half gallon of milk, you receive 2 punches. If you purchase a gallon of milk, you receive 4 punches on your card! Don’t miss out and take advantage of this deal while it lasts!
This year’s award was announced at the New York State Fair in Syracuse by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
What does “Best Milk in New York State” really mean?
Scientists at Cornell University evaluate milk entries for flavor and quality, placing a particular emphasis on how well they hold up throughout their shelf life. For Stewart’s customers, that means you are bringing home the best tasting and highest quality milk in New York State.
This award wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and hard work of our 21 local family-run farms. Stewart’s collects more than 25,000 gallons of milk each day from about 2,900 cows. With our farthest farm being just 36 miles from our plant, you cannot get fresher milk. Our milk goes from farm to shop coolers in 48 hours, thanks to the Stewart’s dairy team at our Greenfield Center plant.
The award is part of the New York State Dairy Products contest, which is part of a highly-competitive program run by Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
