Virginia Tech serving local milk on campus

There are Hokie mugs. And Hokie sweatshirts. There have even been Hokie edition sport utility vehicles.
But Hokie cows and Hokie milk?
Well, they aren’t bred to be maroon and orange. In fact, they are mostly black-and-white Holsteins, with a few brown Jerseys mixed in, and they roam the campus fields along U.S. 460 and Southgate Drive.
Now through a partnership with the Virginia Department of Corrections, some of that milk can now be served to Tech students at Dietrick Hall’s D2 food court.
