Description

Tour the Amaltheia Organic Dairy cheese facility, where the cheese is made, and visit the pack shed, where vegetables are washed and packaged. We will also tour the farm to see goats, observe the milking process, explore the greenhouse and hoop houses and see other animals on the farm. Discover the various opportunities and products that Amaltheia offers to the community. This includes cheese, vegetables, a CSA, the Spring Plant Sale, you-pick flowers, pumpkins and strawberries.

The farm has lots of dirt and bumpy ground, making it difficult for wheelchairs. Wear muck boots and warm clothing.

Space is limited to 25 people.
