Alberta Milk launches “Farm to Table” campaign to celebrate local dairy and the people behind it

Alberta Milk is proud to announce the launch of its latest campaign, Farm to Table: a celebration of Alberta’s local food culture and the hardworking dairy farmers who help nourish our province. Amidst a global backdrop of economic uncertainty and shifting trade priorities, Albertans are more focused than ever on supporting local. Farm to Table was created in response to this growing pride in locally produced food, and the people behind it. At the heart of the campaign is a short film following Alberta dairy farmer Jason Crozier and Blair Lebsack, Chef and owner of Edmonton-based restaurant RGE RD. Together, they explore the journey from farm to table, touring Crozier’s farm and connecting over their shared commitment to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
