The 82nd Annual Delaware County Dairy Tour sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension will start at Maple Shade Farm near Delhi at 10:00 am on July 26th. We will discuss the West Branch Farm Trail that goes from Delhi to Hobart and discuss how to attract visitors to the farm with Jay and Abby Wilson. At 11:30am we will stop at Del-Rose farm to talk about adding income streams to a small dairy with Barbara and Ernie Hanselman and family who have several enterprises going on there. This is our lunch stop so bring a bag lunch and we will provide milk and ice cream. Miquela Hanselman, Delaware County Dairy Princess, will update us on her activities. At 2:30 pm we will visit with Frank and John Lamport who have made many changes to their dairy since John returned to the farm. All stops are on County Rt 18 -this is a drive yourself event and there is no admission or registration. Call Cornell Cooperative Extension if you have questions or need a map at 607-865-6531.
