Friends And Neighbors,
Our farm is hosting "Breakfast on the Farm" on July 28th and we want to extend a personal invitation to your family. Enjoy a free pancake breakfast and a self-guided tour to see what we've been up to these last few years, as well as learn a little about what we do and why we do it. The past 18 months has been very busy for us as we've built a state-of-the art milking facility and cow barn. We'd be honored to have you visit so we can show you our improvements.

Breakfast on the Farm is an event held annually in Vermont at local farms to provide an opportunity for the public to learn how their food is produced. Last year over 2400 people attended events held in Montpelier and Bridport. Reserve your ticket at https://vermontbreakfastonthefarm.com . It's free, and it reserves your seat(s) for breakfast. After breakfast, embark on a self-guided tour of the farm, which includes about a dozen educational stations demonstrating how we care for our animals and the environment. Some stations will focus on water quality and demonstrate many of the practices we have adopted to keep Lake Champlain clean, while others show how cows live and are taken care of by our dedicated employees. The event is family friendly, and many of the activities are designed for the young (and young at heart!). There are murals to paint, special "blender bikes" for making smoothies and newborn baby calves that love attention. Don't miss the scavenger hunt and of course, practice your milking skills with our mock cow. Our 140 volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance.

We work hard to ensure our cows are healthy and comfortable and we take pride in doing our very best to ensure that we take care of our shared resources, including keeping Lake Champlain clean. We'd love to show you the many ways we protect our soils and waters, and make sure our girls (aka dairy cows) are content. We've put in an order for beautiful weather and we hope to see you on July 28th.
