Perrymont Elementary Farm to School Event Teaches Students Importance of Local Agriculture

October 8, 2019

Virginia Secretary of Agriculture, Bettina Ring, visited Perrymont Elementary School's Farm to School Event last Tuesday, October 8th. The students demonstrated their love for the new bulk milk dispensers, which were funded through a Dairy Op grant. These milk dispensers allow students to choose the amount of milk they would like, reducing leftover milk waste. The milk is delivered to the school from local dairy farm, Homestead Creamery.
