Sponsor Spotlight

Meet one of our Re-purpose level sponsors for the St. Louis Earth Day Festival - Midwest Dairy!
Midwest Dairy proudly represents 5,200 dairy farm families over its 10-state region. Dairy farmers think in generations, not years, and play a vital role in producing nutritious products. They are invested in passing along healthy and sustainable land, water, and animals to their children, grandchildren, and their communities. The U.S. dairy industry has committed to achieving greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050 through their Net Zero Initiative.

Check out Midwest Dairy’s booth in the Youth Corner at the Earth Day Festival to learn more about dairy farmers’ sustainable farm practices and to make your own take-home planter!
