Host
Northwest New York Dairy, Livestock & Field CropsWe will be meeting at Burley Berries, 6335 US-20A E, Warsaw, NY 14569 to carpool to East Hill Farms, Ryan's dairy farm, to watch the morning milking and take a walk under Route 20A to visit pastures where the cows graze. We will head back to Burley Berries and check out the creamery, the flowers, fruit, see what's available in the shed, and do a fun activity. Megan will spend some time talking about getting started and her marketing strategies. We will have lunch with hamburgers provided by Next Generation Farms and learn about Chris and Emily Smithgall's farm. Of course, fresh, pasteurized but not homogenized, whole milk too! There may be another ag business that joins us as well.
We will wrap up the day by 2 pm.
Disposable boots/boot wash will be available. Closed toe shoes are recommended. The event is rain or shine.
