Friday Food Facts

Did you know that Arizona Farm Bureau represents all types of farmers and ranchers? They might be small, medium and large-sized farms and ranches. And, we represent conventional, organic and biotech farmers.

If you’re looking for quality, Arizona beef and want to buy directly from the rancher, go to fillyourplate.org. Our website hosts about 25 beef producers including grass-fed and heritage breeds of cattle.

96% of all Arizona homes have milk in the fridge. No worries about keeping you well stocked, though, our family dairy farms have nearly 200,000 milk cows to keep us well supplied with the local dairy product.

Work out often? Make milk your sports drink. Recent studies find milk can repair and replenish muscle tissue after exercise by replacing nutrients such as protein. Arizona dairies serve up fresh milk daily. You should too.

Twenty-nine cuts of beef meet government guidelines for being lean. In Arizona, we raise enough Arizona beef to feed nearly 5 million Americans each year. You can find some of our yummy beef raised by our Arizona ranch families on Fill Your Plate.
