A Great Raw Milk Dairy Day Despite Weather
Our 3rd annual Raw Milk Dairy Day was a big hit despite the weather. More than 40 of our friends and customers joined us for this great event, with some driving through torrential rains to get here.
Activities at the farm included games for the kids with Trevor
"The Games Man", hayrides, milking demonstrations, face painting, and more.
A special congratulations goes out to 7 year old, Paige
Milkman (there IS something in a name), from Barre who was
the winner of the drawing to name Licorice's calf. Paige
won the coveted basket of Robinson Farm goodies for her
award winning name, "Spotsie."
Thanks to Paige, and all those who were able to make it! We hope to see all of you again next year. |

Robinson Farm featured on WFCR
The plight of the local dairy farmer has been well covered in the news lately.
Recently, we were included in a terrific WFCR story on
how some farmers are going back to organic milk or in our
case, raw milk, and transitioning to organic milk to generate more
revenue, and deliver a superior product in taste and health
benefits.
The story is about 10 minutes long, and we're featured towards the end. The full piece is well worth listening to, but it does take a couple of minutes to load. Listen to the full WFCR story on organic milk or, just listen to the parts featuring Robinson Farm.
