Dairy
Location Specific
Used to describe a specific place related to milk processing, not any kind of shop or food place.

During our field trip, we toured a local dairy and learned how cheese is made.
Milk Origin
Always involves milk; if a place doesn't handle milk, it's not a dairy.

The dairy down the road supplies all our milk and cream.
Not a Farm
Distinguishes a processing facility from places where milk is produced, although some farms do both.

Although they own cows, they send the milk to a separate dairy for bottling.
