MSU Ice Cream Day

July is National Ice Cream Month, and to celebrate, the MAFES Sales Store at Mississippi State is giving away ice cream from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 15. All MSU faculty, staff and students may present their MSU ID to receive a free cup.

Ice cream, cheese, milk and butter are produced on campus by the MAFES Custer Dairy Processing Plant employees. Milk is delivered daily from the MAFES Bearden Dairy Research Center. The award-winning dairy herd produces about 475,000 gallons of raw milk each year. The processing plant produces about 25,000 gallons of ice cream each year. The most popular flavor, muscadine ripple, is produced with muscadine grapes grown and harvested at the MAFES South Mississippi Branch Experiment Station in Poplarville.
