An education in farming 
We love connecting people to where their milk comes from which is why we took college students from Boston University and Harvard University to two local dairy farms last month.
Boston University students traveled to Smith's Country Cheese in Winchendon, MA, to visit farmstead cheesemaker, Dave Smith. They learned everything about making cheese, from how cows are milked to how cheese is stored, aged and packaged for sale.They even had the chance to taste-test some new cheese flavors, a task they were eager to accept. Read more about their experience on our blog.
At Great Brook State Park in Carlisle, MA, Harvard students learned that dairy farming is keeping up with the times using modern technology and innovation.Tamma Duffy led students on a tour of her dairy farm equipped with fans in the barn to keep the cows cool, a back scratcher for the cows, and even a robotic milker! Put away your images of three legged stools and pails, the twenty-first century is alive and well on today's dairy farms.Click here to view additional photos. |
