🐄 We're celebrating 5 months of Fern...
... And boy, is she growing fast! We absolutely love following Fern's journey on MacLaflin Farm in Claremont, NH. Through our partnership with Discovery Dairy and the Adopt a Cow program, students get a behind-the-scenes look at where milk comes from, how dairy farmers care for their animals, and the important role agriculture plays in our food system!
Here’s to Fern and the farmers who help bring fresh dairy from the farm to our tables! 🥛🌱
