 FUTP 60 students had the unique opportunity to take a virtual field trip to a dairy farm in vermont! The dairy farm belonged to Bet Howrigan and has been in her family through 8 generations, dating all the way back to 1876! Students got to ask lots of questions to get a better understanding of the daily life of a dairy farmer. The farm produces milk and maple syrup!  The farm consists of over 350 cows that work to produce milk on a daily basis. We can't wait to visit the farm again!
