Have you ever wondered how milk is produced? Or how long it takes for milk to get from farm to table?
American Dairy Association North East invites your classroom on a LIVE Virtual Farm Tour to a Dairy Farm!
What is a Virtual Farm Tour?
Our Virtual Farm Tours connect you directly with a real modern dairy farm for a live video tour and chat with a farmer, without ever leaving the comfort of your home. Using video chat technology, you will get a peek at barns, cows and more as they see and learn firsthand how dairy farmers care for their cows, the land, and produce delicious milk for you to enjoy.
