Families and community members will have an opportunity to learn more about the dairy industry during the Onondaga Grown ON Farm Fest kickoff event on June 18 at the CNY Regional Market.
One of the featured attractions will be the Mobile Dairy Experience, an interactive educational exhibit presented by the New York Animal Agriculture Coalition (NYAAC).
The exhibit is designed to give visitors a closer look at how milk travels from the farm to consumers while highlighting the role dairy farming plays in local communities.
Attendees will also learn about dairy nutrition, modern farming practices, and the care New York dairy farmers provide for their cows.
Organizers say the Mobile Dairy Experience is suitable for both children and adults, offering hands-on activities and engaging displays that make learning about agriculture fun and accessible. The exhibit aims to connect consumers with the farming industry by showing the journey of dairy products from “cow to cup.”
The ON Farm Fest kickoff event will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the CNY Regional Market.
