Meadow Gold Dairy Debuts High-Protein Milk

Meadow Gold
Dairy Farmers of America

For generations, Meadow Gold Dairy has been a staple in homes across Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Utah.

February 23, 2026


Meadow Gold Dairy, a farmer‑owned brand of Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), is introducing Meadow Gold Protein. This new offering delivers 15 grams of high-quality dairy protein per serving — 87% more than regular milk — while staying true to the brand’s legacy of freshness, local sourcing, and family nutrition. 

Each 64‑ounce jug delivers 15 grams of natural dairy protein per serving from local farms. Meadow Gold Protein launches in whole and 2% reduced‑fat varieties with a suggested retail price of $3.99. 

For generations, Meadow Gold Dairy has been a staple in homes across Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Utah. 

Consumers nationwide are prioritizing protein, and many prefer familiar, minimally processed foods. 

“Long before protein was a trend, milk was the original source families trusted,” said Kelly Torres‑Chadd, senior brand manager. “For 125 years, Meadow Gold has nourished families across the Mountain region with real milk, naturally rich in high-quality protein. With the new Meadow Gold Protein lineup, we’re turning up the volume on what milk already does best. Each serving delivers 15 grams of protein from local farms, giving people even more of the goodness they know and love in a fresh, simple, and easy way.”  

In addition to protein, Meadow Gold Protein provides an excellent source of calcium plus nine essential nutrients, making it a wholesome choice for every meal. 

Look for Meadow Gold Protein at major retailers including Walmart, Target, Albertsons, and leading regional grocery chains. Now rolling out across the Mountain region.
