MD DOD Program Details & Winners

The Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program was established in 1983 to recognize the hard work and dedication of dairy owners and operators who have attractive, well-kept farms and promote a good dairy industry image. Building on this tradition of recognition, in 2009 the Maryland Dairy of Distinction Program was created. The Dairy of Distinction award aims to enhance consumer confidence in the dairy industry, thus encouraging dairy sales. Since 2009, 44 dairy farms have been recognized all across the state of Maryland.​​ 
 
In 2024, the Maryland Dairy Shrine took over the responsibility of this prestigious award program for the state. You can find the current guidelines and application on the Maryland Dairy Shrine website.
