Get ready to experience the heart of organic farming! Organic Valley is hosting their annual virtual farm tour on Friday, October 11th, in celebration of National Farmers Day. From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST, join a live stream featuring close to a dozen small organic family farms, stretching from Washington to Vermont.
This interactive experience is a fantastic opportunity to peek behind the scenes and see what goes on at these farms firsthand. You’ll get a virtual glimpse of the picturesque pastures, meet the curious cows, and even get your questions answered directly by the farmers themselves!
Last year, Organic Valley’s virtual farm tour saw thousands of people and numerous classrooms tuning in, demonstrating the growing interest in understanding where our food comes from. This year, you’ll get an even closer look at the landscape and biodiversity on Organic Valley farms located in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.
More than just a scenic tour, this event highlights the dedication of organic farmers to protecting the environment. These farmers are committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that their land is free from toxic pesticides and providing habitat for countless plants and animals. They are also working to combat the climate crisis and keep our waterways clean.
