Connecticut dairy farmers are invited to join us for a hands-on training designed to help you plan, promote, and host highly engaging dairy farm tours. Whether you’re welcoming school groups or curious consumers, this workshop will equip you with the tools and confidence to tell your farm’s story.

 

What You’ll Learn

This interactive training covers the essential elements of a successful farm tour, including:

– Liability, Permissions & Safety: Best practices to protect your farm, your visitors, and yourself.

– Messaging & Talking Points: Clear, confident ways to communicate what makes dairy farming essential and unique.

You’ll walk away with practical tips, stronger messaging, and a framework you can use to host meaningful, memorable experiences.
