Hey everyone! I wanted to share a neat opportunity for homeschool families, primarily since not everyone can raise dairy animals like we’ve been blessed to do.

Discover Dairy offers a free program called Adopt a Cow, where your kids can follow the life of a real dairy calf throughout the school year. You’ll get monthly updates, photos, and even virtual farm tours so your family can learn about dairy farming, how calves grow, and where our milk comes from—all without needing a barn in your backyard.

It’s great for:

• Elementary and middle school ages

• Families and co-ops looking to add some hands-on science or agriculture

• Anyone curious about farming or food production
  

What you get:

• Your own adopted calf to follow

• Monthly updates and pictures

• Educational activities and videos

• A peek into real farm life
  

Registration closes September 15, and calves get assigned in October—so if you’re interested, don’t wait too long.
