"Lunch With Jerry" Organic Dairy Discussion Groups - Alfred State College Farm

March 19, 2015

"Lunch With Jerry" Organic Dairy Discussion Groups - Alfred State College Farm

New York Organic Dairy Initiative in collaboration with New York Farm Viability and host farmers will be

providing the discussion meetings for dairy farmers across New York State. This year's meetings, titled

"Lunch with Jerry", will honor the late Jerry Brunetti, world-wide lecturer on biological farming systems.

The discussions will serve as a chance for farmers to share what they have tried and learned in the past

year, and to make plans and identify goals for the upcoming season. In addition, organic dairy extension

agent, Fay Benson, will show edited video trainings previously done by Jerry Brunetti for the NY Organic

Dairy Initiative. There will be no charge for the meetings which will run from March 19th to April 1st and

are hosted by area farmers. Please contact Ellen Fagan etf22@cornell.edu 607-753-5078 to register for

the event nearest you. Lunch will be provided.
