How does milk get from the farm to the grocery store?

Share

First, farmers work to ensure their cows are happy and healthy. A cow is milked 2-3 times a day. The milk is cooled down and stored in a refrigerated tank until the milk truck picks it up and takes it to a processing location. The milk is then pasteurized, homogenized, and packaged to be shipped to the grocery store.
