Turkey Hill Dairy lending support to local dairy farmers
The company joined forces with Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to fund dairy farmers’ conservation actions.
In a move designed to support the farmers that supply milk to its dairy, Turkey Hill Dairy, a Conestoga, Pa.-based producer and distributor of ice cream and refrigerated drinks, said it joined forces with the Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association, Reston, Va., and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to form the Turkey Hill Clean Water Partnership (THCWP).
Focusing on Lancaster County and surrounding central Pennsylvania counties within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the partnership is the first of its kind in bringing together the private and public sectors, with Turkey Hill Dairy asking the local dairy farmers to implement a conservation plan and enact best management practices for the health of Pennsylvania rivers and streams.
