This month we are featuring half of the 2022 DFA Accelerator class that kicked off earlier in April.

There are six extremely innovative companies in this year’s class. From on-farm sustainability and animal welfare to sustainable manufacturing techniques, the 2022 accelerator class is working to have a positive impact on the dairy industry.

Over the next two episodes of Talk Dairy to Me, we are going to be introducing you to this year’s class. Host Doug Dresslaer talked dairy with Reprohealth, Lemna and Smack’d chocolate milk.

This month's dairy headlines:

Ben & Jerry's brings back a fan-favorite flavor that features and ingredient from a DFA accelerator alum.
