Farm to Carton: Dr. Schack on Her Children’s Book, Connecting Kids to Dairy Farming, Episode 73

Join hosts Tammy Baker and Julie Murphree on Fill Your Plate Now for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Michelle Schack—Arizona dairy veterinarian, mom, social media educator known as The Dairy Doc, and co-founder of DairyKind. Dr. Schack shares the story behind her new children’s book, DairyDoc’s Discovery Goggles: Milk from Cow to Carton, which takes young readers on an exciting journey through the milk supply chain—from the farm and bulk tanks to processing plants, pasteurization, and grocery shelves. Inspired by kids’ questions (and misconceptions) about where milk really comes from, this fun, educational adventure highlights the science, teamwork, and dedicated people behind one of America’s favorite foods. Tune in to explore how this book sparks curiosity in the next generation, bridges the farm-to-table gap, supports agricultural literacy, and encourages appreciation for modern dairy farming, animal care, and the careers that make it all possible. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or simply curious about your food, this episode delivers wholesome insights and practical ways to talk to kids about nutrition and agriculture.
