Help us spread Christmas cheer this season! Submit your dairy interpretation for one or multiple days of the 12 Days of Christmas. We will be featuring one on our social media pages each day leading up to Christmas! Enter soon, our first Dairy Day will be posted on December 14th.

For each entry received Hoard’s Dairyman will be donating 1 Gallon of milk to the local food pantry!


Don’t delay! Submit your caption and photo or video entries before that chosen day occurs by sending us a message on Facebook or Instagram, or emailing facebook@hoards.com. The first day will be shared on December 14th.

All published content will be up to the discretion of the Hoard’s team.
