Stewart's Shops wins Best Milk in New York State competition for fourth year in a row.

Stewart’s Shops won the Best Milk in New York State competition for the fourth year in a row.

Stewart’s also won 1st place in the Best Chocolate Milk and Best Flavored Milk categories.

The 2025 New York State Dairy Products contest winners were announced last week at the New York State Fair in Syracuse.

The Best Milk award marked the 10th time in the past 20 years that Stewart’s has been recognized as the best milk producer in New York State.

The New York State 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 and Markets.

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.

Stewart’s Shops also won 1st place in the open class ice cream competition with our Mint Cookie Crumble. Stewart’s placed second in the Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream competitions.

“This is a humbling honor that serves as a testament to the hard work that our farmers and partners put into each day to make sure we serve our customers with the highest quality milk and ice cream possible,” said Stewart’s Shops president Chad Kiesow.

The annual dairy products contest shines a spotlight on the dedication of the teams who dedicate their careers to helping Stewart’s make a variety of quality milk and ice cream flavors for the communities that support us all year.
