SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Fall 2022 Virtual Farm Tours, coordinated by American Dairy Association North East, are set to kick off on September 30.
Since launching the Virtual Farm Tour concept in 2018, the tours have racked up more than 500,000 views between the live and recorded broadcasts.
The upcoming tours are:
September 30 – Albano Farms, Stamford, N.Y.
October 14 – Kurtland Farms, Elverson, Pa.
November 21 – Adirondack Farms, Peru, N.Y.
“This program is building trust in dairy by helping consumers make the connection with those who are producing the milk and products they enjoy,” said ADA North East CEO John Chrisman. “It also gains credibility when dairy farmers share the registration information with their local schools, which we encourage you to do.”
Two separate tour sessions will take place on the same day at each farm, including:
- A deep dive tour with “Sustainable Nutrition” lesson plans for Grades 6-12
- A general tour with “Dairy During Your Day” lesson plans for Pre-K- Grade 5 students.
The program includes the free teacher-developed student lesson plans which meet Common Core Standards for elementary, middle and high school classes.
All lesson plans are available to download, as well as registration for the Fall 2022 Virtual Farm Tours and access to recorded past tours at AmericanDairy.com under “Virtual Farm Tours.”
