Four farms named winners of this year’s New England Green Pastures Awards will be recognized at this year’s Eastern States Exposition (Big E) in September in West Springfield, Mass.
Each year, one dairy farm from each New England state is selected as a Green Pastures Award Winner. They are chosen based on pasture quality and forage management; production; herd; milk quality; financial stability; and community involvement.
This year’s winners are Harris Dairy Farm, Dayton, Maine; Bree-Z-Knoll Farm, Leyden, Mass.; Windyhurst Farm, Westmoreland, N.H.; McGarry Dairy, Enosburg, Vt.
