STtalks #288 - Oakridge Farm Day with Kaylee Hill of Oakridge Dairy LLC

As we continue to celebrate June Dairy Month, Kaylee Hill from Oakridge Dairy of Ellington, Connecticut joins us to share about their annual Farm Day which they anticipate will attract 3,500 people this year who are looking to meet their farmer! With the vision to be the farm of the future in a world where people know their farmer, Oakridge prioritizes tours and creating a lasting experience year-round, however their Farm Day is a large event they focus on to bring many aspects of their farm all together to show their community where their milk is coming from and the care that goes into that entire process. The event will be held on June 28th at the farm for any of our local listeners who would be interested in participating!
