Farmers is Delivering More Than Dairy this Spring

Each spring the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Campaign raises funds to support their worthy cause, while helping people feel like spring is finally here by adding bunches of cheery yellow flowers to desks and tables all over. In Nova Scotia, Farmers Dairy helps get the daffodils delivered all over the province, while we make our dairy deliveries.

April has been declared the month to fight back against cancer and April 27 is National Daffodil Day. The Canadian Cancer Society is distributing daffodil pins to be worn as a badge of courage on this day and all month long.
