Becoming a licensed dairy producer can be a daunting task. Please join Grace Pond Farm and MOFGA’s dairy specialist Jacki Perkins for a farm tour and lively discussion of dairy production, and its counterpart, the value added market. Grace Pond Farm’s organically certified dairy herd spends long, happy, grass-fed days chewing the cud. Their dairy queens are a pleasant mix of Jersey, Brown Swiss and Normande crosses with just enough Washington County grit thrown in to handle any situation with grace.
MOFGA’s Farm Training Project (FTP) workshops are designed for apprentices, Journeypeople, farmworkers and other beginning farmers. They follow an informal format including a farm tour and conversation on the topic of the day. For details or directions to workshops, call (207) 568-4142, email [email protected].
