Cheese + Dairy
University of Nebraska Dairy Store - Lincoln Nebraska

The UNL Dairy Store or Varsity Dairy, as it was once called, has been selling dairy products since 1917. If you brought your own cup to the store in the late 1920's a nickel would buy all the milk you could drink. At one time, the Dairy Store/Plant provided all the dairy products for the UNL Dormitories. Slowly over time, other suppliers were able to offer lower prices for fluid milk along with other products, so today the Dairy Store only provides products on special occasions.

The Dairy Plant/Store serves several purposes:
To provide experience and jobs for Food Science and related students.
To provide equipment and facilities for class projects and labs, as teaching facilities.
To provide equipment and facilities for research projects involving dairy products and to solve problems within the Dairy Industry.
To provide ice cream and cheese to the general public, using premium ingredients while keeping prices low.

Stopping at the Store has become a tradition in many families, as well as giving our Gift Boxes at Christmas time. We also sell items made in the Animal Science Meat Lab, some convenience items, hoagie sandwiches and nachos. In addition, we offer a rotation of daily specials and a constantly changing selection of ice creams.

The Dairy Plant, now a part of The Food Processing Center has the same goals: to assist food processing business in Nebraska and to promote the idea of value added products in our economy.
