Dairy Farm/Locovore Brunch

    Our trip to the dairy farm was very interesting. I learned a lot about the way milk goes from the cows to the grocery store shelves. I have to admit that I feel a lot more confident that the milk I am drinking is safe considering the rigorous guidelines that dairy farms like the one we visited have to follow. It was amazing to me how "clean" everything on the farm was considering it's home many cows and is not a place that I would think of as being clean. I always knew that farmers worked very hard, but after visiting the dairy farm, I appreciated their work even more. I also found it amazing that the whole family pitched in and worked together to make the family farm a successful business.

     On Thursday, we had our locovore brunch and it was amazing to see all the good food everyone prepared from local products. There was so much good food in one place, and I thought that it was a good time. Buying local products is beneficial to our local economy and I would like to try to buy as many local products as I can now and throughout life as I move away from Athens.
