    Milk for Life now to be branded under flagship Upstate Farms products

    April 16, 2026

    Upstate Niagara Cooperative (UNC Dairy) announced that its lactose-free milk – formerly marketed under the Milk For Life brand – will now join the flagship Upstate Farms family of products.

    The transition streamlines UNC Dairy’s portfolio, bringing its high-quality lactose free offerings under the same trusted name that consumers associate with local, farm-fresh dairy. While the logo and packaging have been refreshed to align with the Upstate Farms brand, the product remains unchanged.

    The 100% lactose-free milk continues to use the exact same ingredients and process that loyal customers have relied on for years. It provides 13 essential nutrients – including calcium, vitamin D and potassium – and serves as a good source of high-quality protein.

    “Our customers can still expect the same delicious, easy-to-digest taste they enjoyed with Milk For Life now conveniently packaged under the Upstate Farms label,” said Madison Lindsay, UNC Dairy marketing manager. “We are committed to making our local dairy products accessible to everyone, and by bringing our lactose free milk into the Upstate Farms family, we are reinforcing our promise to provide fresh, nutritious options for every lifestyle.”

    Upstate Farms lactose-free milk is produced by local family-owned farms that adhere to the highest quality standards. Like all Upstate Farms products, this milk is produced with no artificial growth hormones, 100% real dairy nutrition and is sourced from local cooperative members. 

    The lactose free milk is available in the following varieties: Upstate Farms lactose free whole milk, Upstate Farms lactose-free 2% reduced fat milk, Upstate Farms lactose free 1% lowfat milk, Upstate Farms lactose free fat free milk and Upstate Farms lactose free 2% reduced fat chocolate milk. 

    Consumers can find the newly rebranded Upstate Farms lactose-free milk in the dairy aisle at major retailers throughout the region, including Tops Friendly Markets, Dash’s Market, Walmart and other local grocery stores.
