Dan Weis explains how cows are milked at Weis-Way Dairy Farm.
The Farm has been the theme for this year’s school annual literacy unit at Paris School.
Today, students had a chance to see the real thing in action at four local farm operations.
Students, split into groups by grade level, visited at The Rossi Farm in Bristol, Weis-Way Dairy Farm in Paris, Holloway Heritage Farm in Paris and Mighty Grand Dairy in Brighton.
Here are some photos of the kindergarten through second grade students at the Weis and Holloway farms:
