STtalks #287 - The Power of Connection with Kelly Reynolds of Reyncrest Farm

We kick off June Dairy Month featuring farms, organizations and individuals who are shining a bright light on the dairy industry and helping shape the conception of our amazing consumers! To start off our features, we have Kelly Reynolds of Reyncrest Farm with us to share the array of events her family hosts to connect with their local community and make sure that those who visit or pass by their farm feel good about buying a gallon of milk. From virtual tours to opening up their farm for a city to farm exchange welcoming students from New York City, the Reynolds do a wonderful job of showing how and why dairy farmers care for their cows and the milk they produce!
