This is Your Chance to Support Dairy Education in New York
The New York Animal Agriculture Coalition (NYAAC) has long been a champion for enhancing public understanding and appreciation of animal agriculture. Through initiatives like the Mobile Dairy Experience (MDE), NYAAC fosters meaningful connections between consumers, farmers, and industry leaders. Now, as they gear up for 2025, NYAAC is taking its mission on the road with their MDE, an interactive, state-of-the-art experience, and they have launched a crowdfunding campaign to ensure the sustainability of this impactful project.
The Mobile Dairy Experience debuted at The Great New York State Fair in August 2024, capturing the hearts of visitors with its immersive and educational setup. This 53-foot, double-expandable trailer transforms into more than 1,000 square feet of hands-on exhibits. Starting in March 2025, the Mobile Dairy Experience will embark on a statewide tour, bringing the wonder of New York’s dairy industry to schools, fairs, festivals, and community events. By creating meaningful connections with people across the state, the MDE helps bridge the gap between consumers and the dairy industry while promoting the essential contributions of New York dairy farmers. To inquire about bringing the MDE to your 2025 event, visit the NYAAC website.
While the Mobile Dairy Experience is ready to roll, keeping this impactful program on the road requires ongoing support. That’s why NYAAC has launched a crowdfunding initiative through the Central New York Community Foundation. Contributions to this fund will provide a permanent source of income for NYAAC, ensuring the MDE continues to educate and inspire for years to come. The Mobile Dairy Experience was built with the support of family farms, agricultural partners, and funding from the New York Dairy Promotion Order Advisory Board. Now, NYAAC is calling on supporters of the dairy industry to help sustain this one-of-a-kind educational resource.
NYAAC’s mission to enhance public understanding and appreciation of animal agriculture is deeply rooted in its core values: Integrity, Care, Respect, and Openness. The Mobile Dairy Experience embodies these principles, fostering transparency, trust, and compassion in every interaction. Through this initiative, consumers gain a fun and interactive introduction to dairy farming, environmental stewardship, and the health benefits of dairy products. By sharing farmers' stories, the MDE builds meaningful connections, promotes trust, and showcases the industry’s commitment to sustainability. It also inspires future generations by highlighting career opportunities and cutting-edge technology, sparking curiosity and excitement about the dairy industry.
You can support the Mobile Dairy Experience and NYAAC’s mission by contributing to the crowdfunding initiative today. Every donation ensures that this unique educational program continues to thrive and reach communities across New York. With your help, the Mobile Dairy Experience can continue its journey of fostering dialogue, understanding, and appreciation for animal agriculture, one mile at a time.
