Dairy Month Spotlight: LSU Dairy Store Becomes Popular Campus Stop

The store offers a unique connection between consumers and LSU agriculture programs.

BATON ROUGE, La. (TWILA) — As temperatures rise during National Dairy Month, the Louisiana State University AgCenter Dairy Store is giving customers a new place to cool off.

The store recently moved to a new location, and staff say the upgraded facility has helped drive a significant increase in customer traffic.

Student employees also play a major role in the operation, helping test new flavors and gain hands-on experience by working in the store.

In addition to dairy products, the store serves as the only retail outlet for LSU AgCenter beef products.
