"Dairy Diaries," a collaborative effort by U.S. dairy farmers, processors, and importers, is releasing television episodes featuring Saturday Night Live alumna Vanessa Bayer.

For a week, she visited Beck Farms to entertain and educate consumers on what it’s like to be a dairy farmer and raise awareness of the sustainability practices farms are implementing today and planning for the future. 

The goal of the videos are to:

• How dairy can be a catalyst for a healthier, more sustainable future 
• The journey of milk from farm to fridge and the rigorous testing standards to ensure its safety and nutrient-rich qualities.
• The innovative ways dairy farms are reducing waste, producing cleaner energy, and contributing to a healthier planet.

"Dairy Diaries" airs exclusively on Roku now.

Dairy Diaries follows Bayer as she is thrust into the unfamiliar world of dairy farming at Beck Farms. Through Bayer's experiences, viewers get an up-close look at the realities of modern dairy farming and the innovative sustainability and animal care practices shaping the industry's future. From the journey of milk from farm to fridge to the role of dairy in fostering a healthier, more sustainable world, Dairy Diaries delivers laughs and an enlightening exploration of today's modern dairy farm.

"As someone who consumes more dairy, and specifically cheese, than I'd like to admit, I wanted to learn about how milk gets from the farm to the store," said Vanessa Bayer. "I was particularly interested to hear how the industry is working to become more sustainable because obviously, we all gotta get moo-ving in that department! While I didn't get as much free ice cream as I had hoped, I learned a lot, and I think the audience will as well."
