She will take you on a tour of the farm to view the robot milkers\, dairy barn\, calf barn\, bunker silos\, and anaerobic digester—a system that converts cow manure and food waste into fertilizer\, heat\, and electricity for 1\,600 homes. You’ll also find out how APRs contribute to habitat\, sustainability\, heritage\, and farm viability. \nThis 0.5 mile walk includes some hills\, uneven terrain\, and mud. Please dress for the weather and wear shoes that can get dirty. The event will take place rain or shine. \nThis event is free\, but donations are welcome.
