Farm tours!



Mrs. Logan, kindergarten teacher, asked to bring her class for their first ever field trip - not just in the class, but ever! It was just SO MUCH fun. 

She said it was all of their first field trip and many their first bus ride. We all toured, fed calves, saw cows, watched them get milked, climbed on the tractor, and ate ice cream. 

Mariah, one of the students, said "This was the best day ever!" I asked her why, and she said because she saw a cow, and she'd never seen one before. Everything is so new and wonderful when you're five years old!

They were interested, fun, and it was SO WONDERFUL! I love showing kids the farm. Thank you Mrs. Logan for your sense of adventure and dedication to agriculture!

Thank you also to our neighbors AgroLiquid for letting us use your people mover. We so appreciate it!


Thanks for the people mover, AgroLiquid!

We let everyone feed a calf a bottle. 

They all stepped right up.

This is the delightful girl who told me it was the best day.

She has such a perfect no-front-teeth smile! 

Yesterday, we hosted a tour of Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan interns. Josh Mosbaugh brought them to see a dairy farm as part of their 10-week education about their business. They all had some sort of agricultural background, including being from a dairy farm, so their questions were informed and detailed. They were also really friendly and interesting. The future of FB is bright!

Jeans were the fashion choice of the day

There's no age limit to liking calves

When the kids are drinking milk, and when the interns are choosing a career, I hope they have fond memories of visiting here.
