What happens here

Tom leads the tour into the milking parlor, which he describes as an 8-a-side "herringbone" parlor built in 1967. They milk approximately 120 cows here. He explains the traditional "jar" system, where milk is collected in 7-gallon (32-liter) glass jars before being processed. Tom emphasizes the farm's business model of doorstep milk deliveries, which directly connects consumers to the farm's produce. This step showcases how an efficient dairy operation contributes to overall farm productivity, impacting the broader agricultural landscape and land use. Understanding the journey of food from farm to table can inform decisions about local and sustainable food sourcing, a growing trend in garden-to-table landscaping. Farm structures, especially older ones, may have low ceilings or uneven surfaces, requiring visitors to be aware of their surroundings.

Goal: The tour visits the dairy milking parlor, detailing the traditional milking system and the farm's unique direct-to-consumer milk delivery service.
