Schomberg Agricultural Society's 3rd annual farm tour

Did you put cream in your coffee this morning, milk on your cereal, butter on your toast, cheese on your pizza at lunch, or finished dinner with a delicious bowl of ice cream? If you answered "yes," then participate in the farm tour and thank a dairy farmer.

Saturday, March 10 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. you will be able to thank four different local dairy farmers during the Schomberg Agricultural Society's 3rd annual Farm Tour. This will be your opportunity to find out what dairy cows eat and how advanced dairy farms have become. Two of the farms are state-of-the-art with the very latest technology in dairy farming. It's a long way from the milk pail and stool of pioneer days.

Find out if brown cows do give brown milk! Taste samples of a variety of dairy products, and find out if these cows have a favourite radio station for "easy listening."

Put on your thinking cap - a newborn calf will be at two of the farms. Make up a name for them and deposit your submission in the box provided, you may be a winner.

The cost of this driveyourself tour is $10 per car. The map/ticket will give you directions to the dairy farms on the tour.

Tickets may be purchased at RONA Cashway and Schomberg Farm & Garden Supplies on Main Street Schomberg, and Richvale Saddlery at Brownsville Junction Schomberg, Nobleton Feed Mill on Old King Road, Nobleton, Maple Farm Supplies on King Road, Bolton and Tottenham Feed Service on Mill Street Tottenham and Home Hardware Queen Street, Tottenham.
