Battenkill Valley Creamery received the award for the highest quality milk in the state at the State Fair. This award is given by the Cornell University Department of Food Science.
Battenkill Valley Creamery produces and bottles milk on the family's Washington County farm. This year, Battenkill Creamery received the first place award with a perfect score of 100. This is the second time Battenkill Creamery has been awarded first place.
Throughout the year, 18 dairies in New York periodically submit samples of their milk. Each sample was tested and rated. The milk is rated based on flavor, shelf life, butterfat percentage and freezing point. The competition has been taking place since 1997. In its 20-year history there have only been four perfect scores.
