Established in 1983, the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program
recognizes the hard work and dedication of dairy owner / operators
who have attractive, well-kept farms and promote a good dairy industry
image.  All active dairy farms in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Vermont are eligible to apply for the Dairy of Distinction award.
Winning farms receive the special Dairy of Distinction roadside sign
for their farmstead.

To apply for the award, an application must be submitted to the secretary
for your state by April 15th.  Roadside farm judging takes place in May
and is based on the condition of the farm and livestock.  Farms that
are awarded the Dairy of Distinction honor are notified in late May or
June.  Winners are re-judged every year to ensure they maintain the
high standards of the award.
