For the fifth year in a row, Stewart\u2019s Shops has won the award for the Best Milk in New York State. To celebrate, the chain is offering double punches on its Milk Club Card throughout this entire week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat means if you purchase a half gallon of milk, you receive two punches,\u201d the retailer noted in a statement. \u201cIf you purchase a gallon of milk, you receive four punches on your card. Don\u2019t miss out and take advantage of this deal while it lasts.\u201d<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s award was announced at the New York State Fair in Syracuse by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.<\/p>\n
Scientists at Cornell University evaluated milk entries for flavor and quality, placing a particular emphasis on how well they hold up throughout their shelf life. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor Stewart\u2019s customers, that means you are bringing home the best tasting and highest quality milk in New York State,\u201d the statement continued.<\/p>\n
Stewart\u2019s credited its success to the hard work and dedication of its 21 local family-run farms, which collect more than 25,000 gallons of milk every day from about 2,900 cows. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith our farthest farm being just 36 miles from our plant, you cannot get fresher milk,\u201d the statement read. \u201cOur milk goes from farm to shop coolers in 48 hours, thanks to the Stewart\u2019s dairy team at our Greenfield Center plant.\u201d<\/p>\n
The award is part of the New York State Dairy Products contest, which is part of a highly-competitive program run by Cornell University\u2019s College of Agriculture and the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.<\/p>\n
Today, Stewart\u2019s owns and operates more than 400 convenience stores across upstate New York, Vermont and western New Hampshire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the fifth year in a row, Stewart\u2019s Shops has won the award for the Best Milk in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10,49,51,50],"class_list":["post-348532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
