2025 SA Dairy Awards


🥛Save the Date – Friday, 15 August 2025🥛

Let’s celebrate the people who make SA dairy great.

 

SADA is proud to announce its continued role as Premier Partner of the South Australian Dairy Awards in 2025.

This celebrated event recognises the outstanding contributions of our state’s dairy farmers and processors — the passionate people behind the high-quality products that fill our supermarket delis, cafés, restaurants, and homes.

For more than 15 years, the Dairy Awards have stood as a key date on the industry calendar, honouring excellence across all aspects of dairy production.

This year, we’re excited to once again partner with Foodland to present the Foodland Dairy Sustainability Award, celebrating industry leaders committed to delivering on the promise of nutritious food for a healthier world, in line with the Australian Dairy Sustainability Framework.

The 2024 program will also continue to build on our three annual signature awards:
🏆 Best Innovative Farmer of the Year.
🏆 Best Relationship with a Processor.
🏆 Young Farmer of the Year.
