Description
Using video chat technology, students will get a behind the scenes look into life on a New England dairy farm.
Students will join dairy farmer Denise Barstow for a tour of her family’s farm and learn how dairy farmers take care of their cows from the time they’re born to when they join the milking herd. Students will meet the calves, tour through the barns, and will get an up-close look at milking robots.
Attend the tour and be entered to win a Cabot Cheese prize pack from our friends at Cabot Creamery Cooperative.
