Dairy In The Classroom

Dairy in the Classroom brings high quality, hands-on, and TASTY dairy lessons to students right in the classroom! Lessons are formulated based on your classrooms ages and needs. Students learn about why milk is good for you and identify dairy products while having the opportunity to taste (and make) these products to help expand their taste buds. Students also learn about the lifecycle of a cow, what they eat and need at each stage, how to milk a cow and how milk moves from the cow to carton. 

Specifically formulated for middle and high school classes, students have the opportunity to learn more about animal and crop genetics, extract DNA from a strawberry and learn about job opportunities in the agriculture industry.

Our main focus is for students to understand the scope of the dairy industry in NYS and St. Lawrence County, identify and taste different types of dairy products, correctly sequence how milk moves from farm to table while learning about careers within the agricultural and dairy industry. In a time where not every family is a farming family, teaching students about where our food comes from and how it is grown or produced is extremely important to us. We strive to answer the question "Where does our food come from" during our time together!

We have many different lessons based on different grade levels and needs for your classroom, as well as some new and exciting interactive lessons! Please reach out to Malorie Jordan for further questions or to communicate about setting up future lessons for your classroom!
