NORTH LAWRENCE, N.Y. (WWNY) - To learn how your food gets from farm to table, just turn on your computer.
The American Dairy Association North East is hosting virtual farm tours, including one on Stauffer Farms in North Lawrence.
Adam Bates, the farmer leading the lesson, says he’s had a passion for showing people around the farm since he was a kid.
“I just thought the farm was really, really cool. So, that’s why I wanted to show them what happened at the farm. But now I think it’s very important that people know where their food is coming from, that they know that their food is being produced to be the highest quality and be the safest product that it can be,” he said.

The 3,800-cow dairy farm on County Route 54 is one of three farms hosting virtual tours this week through the American Dairy Association North East. The Dairy Association advocates for dairy farmers in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
This weekâs tours last up to an hour and are geared toward K-12 students, specifically fourth- through seventh-graders at Stauffer, but are viewable to anyone interested in learning directly from dairy farmers. The live-streamed video tour begins at noon Thursday.
On-site and virtual dairy farm tours for classrooms took off in 2018, but virtual tours âhave grown in popularityâ for in-school and at-home learners alike, according to the Dairy Association. With school districts across the six states at varying phases of reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic, online offerings can reach more people â
