New York Dairy Co-Op Upstate Niagara Gets School Yogurt Contract

BUFFALO, N.Y. — New York's Upstate Niagara dairy cooperative will supply its Greek yogurt to public schools across three states under a federal school lunch pilot program.

Sen. Charles Schumer says Friday that a U.S. Department of Agriculture contract calls for the Buffalo-based co-op to provide 142,700 pounds of Greek yogurt to schools in New York, Arizona and Tennessee through December.

Upstate Niagara is a farmer-owned co-op consisting of 360 family-owned dairy farms in western New York.
