Dairy Farmers
of Nova Scotia

DFNS AGM Registration and 25th Anniversary Banquet Tickets

Nova Scotia’s dairy farms are a cornerstone of the province’s rural vitality, and their commitment to producing milk “the Canadian way” is more than just a slogan—it’s a promise rooted in quality, care, and community.

What the Blue Cow Logo Means

The Blue Cow logo is your assurance that the product is made with 100% Canadian milk and milk ingredients, sourced from farms that follow some of the highest standards in the world for quality, sustainability, and animal care.

Supporting Local

When you choose products with the Blue Cow logo, you’re not just buying Canadian dairy products - you’re investing in Nova Scotia’s economy, supporting over 190 family-run farms that contribute to rural communities across the province. More information on dairy farming practices and policies in Canada can be found by visiting Dairy Farmers of Canada.
