I ran across a website a while ago that let's you track where your milk came from. It is a great way to see how many miles your food has traveled. And for those of you who would like to eat more locally, it can help you find local dairy products that are carried at your local supermarket.
The website is whereismymilkfrom.com.
How it works
- Find the code on your milk or dairy product
- Enter it into their website
- It spits out where that milk came from
It is really easy to use and easy to find the codes on the milk.
