Adopt-A-Cow Program
Our library has partnered with the Dairy Excellence Foundation and enrolled in the Adopt-A-Cow Program to help raise awareness for the dairy industry. The library has adopted a live calf growing up on a dairy farm. Her name is Lucy from Lone Oak Farm (dairy farm), located in New Alexandria, PA. Our calf will not be living in our library but will continue to live on the farm with our host farmer. We will receive monthly updates about her that include information, pictures, and videos. These updates include lessons and activities that you can do at home. The lessons and activities will be related to her growth, how she is cared for on the farm, and the process of milk production. We are excited to follow her journey on the farm while learning more about dairy farming and where milk comes from.
Educational Videos
Check out these great videos provided by organizations such as the American Dairy Association North East, Midwest Dairy Council, Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association, Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, and the Center for Dairy Excellence. They provide illuminating views of the dairy industry and life on the farm.
