    Today we went to the Holter Holstein Farm. The farmer's daughter, Alissa, lead the tour of the farm and a representative from the American Dairy Association also attended to add some insight. The farm is a family business that was started over 60 years ago. The family has about 350 milk cows. I was very impressed by how clean the facility was. The family does a great job of running an efficient farm. We spent a lot of time in the cow milking parlor where they milk all of their cows twice a day. They definitely have their work cut out for them!

    Today we had the locavore bunch. Our group purchased a few locally made products:
1. Vino de  Milo marinara sauce
2. Crumb's bakery spinach fettucine
3. Shagbark chips
4. Frog ranch salsa

All of the products were made here in Athens, except for the salsa, which is made in Glouster. I thought this was a really nice way to end the quarter. I think it's important to support the local community. I enjoyed trying all the different dishes each group came up with.

We purchased the spinach fettucine since were planted spinach in our garden. We thought the use of the spinach to make fettucine was different and may be a little more appealing to our project population.
