Dairy (disambiguation).
A dairy farm near
Oxford, New York in the United States.
A dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting of animal
milk?mostly from
cows or
goats, but also from
buffalo,
sheep,
horses or
camels ?for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or section of a multi-purpose farm that is concerned with the harvesting of milk.
Terminology differs between countries. For example, in the
United States, a farm building where milk is harvested is often called a milking parlor. In
New Zealand such a building is historically known as the milking shed - although in recent years there has been a progressive change to call such a building a farm dairy.
In some countries, especially those with small numbers of animals being milked, as well as harvesting the milk from an animal, the dairy may also process the milk into
butter,
cheese and
yogurt, for example. This is a traditional method of producing specialist milk products, especially in Europe. In the United States a dairy can also be a place that processes, distributes and sells
dairy products, or a room, building or establishment where milk is stored and processed into milk products, such as
butter or
cheese. In
New Zealand English the singular use of the word dairy almost exclusively refers to the corner
convenience store, or
superette. This usage is historical as such stores were a common place for the public to buy milk products.
As an attributive, the word dairy refers to milk-based products, derivatives and processes, and the animals and workers involved in their production: for example
