Fairgoers of all ages are invited to stop by the Cornell Cooperative Extension booth located in the Corporate Building for a fun, hands-on opportunity to learn about New York dairy cows and the important role dairy foods play in a healthy lifestyle.
Dairy in the Classroom Educator Carolyn Wellman will be on-site throughout the fair, providing educational activities for visitors to explore how milk travels from farm to table, testing your knowledge about dairy cows and farms in New York, and discovering the nutritional benefits of dairy products.
As New York remains one of the nation’s leading dairy-producing states, agricultural education plays a vital role in helping consumers understand where their food comes from and the importance of supporting local agriculture.
We look forward to seeing you at the fair - it’s sure to be an “udderly” good time!

About Dairy in the Classroom
Dairy in the Classroom is an interactive agricultural education program that helps students learn where their food comes from. Through hands-on activities, tastings, and demonstrations, students explore dairy nutrition, cow care, and the journey of milk from farm to table. Lessons can also introduce dairy genetics, agricultural careers, and food production, helping students build a stronger connection to agriculture and the dairy industry.
