Meet the Next Generation of Dairy
Dairy Month Lecture Series
Presenter: Denise Barstow, Marketing and Education Manager, Barstow’s Longview Farm.
Meet the youngest girls on the farm with 7th generation farmer, Denise! Visit the calves and learn about what they eat and how they grow. The future of dairy farming relies on the next generation, that means both animals and farmers.
Free walking barn tour begins at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery and will take approximately 20 minutes. Please no late arrivals.
Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery and Barstow’s Longview Farm is owned and operated by sixth and seventh generation Barstow’s. Nestled at the base of Skinner State Park and right alongside the Connecticut River, the dairy farm has been a part of the landscape since 1806.
Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery offers homemade baked goods and pies, lunch from local ingredients, farm fresh produce, farm raised beef, ice cream, and scenic views of protected farmland from the porch and dining room. This family friendly store is open daily year round. Come meet your neighborhood dairy farmer!
