American Dairy Association North East, Wegmans unveil giant butter sculpture
The 50th annual sculpture pays tribute to New York’s hard-working dairy farmers.
American Dairy Association North East, along with Rochester, N.Y.-based Wegmans Food Markets, unveiled the 50th annual butter sculpture at the New York State Fairgrounds on Aug. 21. The sculpture pays tribute to the state's hard-working dairy farmers, the North Syracuse, N.Y.-based association said.
To illustrate just how quickly milk gets from the farm to the store, this year's sculpture features a farmer transporting milk directly from his dairy farm to a consumer in the grocery aisle — a symbolic reminder that "Your Milk Comes From A Good Place" within 48 hours. The farm's name, “Over the Moon Dairy Farm,” is a tribute to the inaugural 1969 Butter Sculpture, which originally depicted a cow jumping over the moon, American Dairy Association North East said.
