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.
