The Dairy Excellence Foundation is hosting its annual farm-to-fork celebration, “A Toast to Dairy,” on Thursday, June 16, 2022 from 6-9 p.m. at Melhorn Manor in Mount Joy, Pa. The event includes meal stations sourced with Pennsylvania Preferred ingredients, a selection of artisan cheeses, and locally crafted wines and brews. Individuals who purchase tickets by May 1 will receive an early-bird discount with $10 off each ticket.

New this year, the event will feature cheese and chocolate pairings along with farm-to-fork food stations and tastings from local wineries and breweries. Attendees will receive a tasting passport and enjoy samples at each stop. The event will also include live music, a caricature artist, raffles, an outdoor courtyard, and opportunities to network with individuals from the dairy community and beyond.

“A Toast to Dairy” benefits the next generation of dairy and supports the scholarships, internships and curriculum the Dairy Excellence Foundation provides to students and educators across the state. More than 200 people attended the event last year and helped support the Foundation’s efforts to expose students of all ages to dairy farming.
