*Registrants will complete a 2 hour pre-recorded self-paced module prior to the live, instructor-led workshop
First 50 registrants will receive a kit with interactive materials to enhance learning outcomes of the self-paced
module.
This hybrid course will introduce attendees to the key raw milk parameters that influence organic dairy product quality & shelf-life and how to control these parameters at the farm. In the self-paced module of this course, attendees will learn about the four raw milk parameters that impact processed product quality: somatic cells, total bacteria, spore-forming bacteria, and flavor & odor profiles of raw milk. Attendees will then learn, in-depth, how to control these parameters through best practices for farm management from our instructors during our live virtual workshop on December 16.
