Dairy Farm

How excited today~! We went to a dairy farm, saw the real cow, and visited a dairy factory. The farm is family owned and operated, therefore the family does much of the monitoring and evaluating of the farm. However, the American Dairy Association does do check ups and routines to make sure the milk is safe and the dairy farm is abiding by rules and regulations.

Today, we have a guest named Karen Baker, RD, LD the Nutrition Affair Director for the Dairy Council came in today to talk to our class. She gives us a very interesting lecture, told us how to be an attractive lecturer, how to prepare, what people want to get from the lecture.
Karen Baker oversees the entire state of Ohio's dairy farms. Funding is 100% from dairy farms. For every 100 pounds of dairy, they receive $0.15.

It's so hard to listen to lecture today, because of the owner's pretty daughter~~~
The farmer/owner who spoke to our class yesterday was named Paul Clever. Him and his wife (a professor at hocking college) are the founders of the Good Earth Farm. Their overall goal and purpose before setting out to create Good Earth Farm was to provide food pantries with healthful and good quality produce. With the economy so low, there is less food being given to food pantries (I believe he said $.50/per person/per year or something outrageous along those lines). Therefore it was their mission to help provide supplemental fresh produce to pantries in order for people to not only have food but become aware and familiar to fresh, local produce. Good Earth Farm also provides a place of education and retreat for visitors.
Good Earth Farm serves 60 people a week on the produce and dairy they make. So there is a big plot dedicated to produce and to the cattle that they have. The people they serve are those who work and volunteer on the farm, but also again those local pantries. How Good Earth Farm is funded is by donations and grants. Mr. Clever mentioned how they came about the land that Good Earth sits on and it was through the generosity of his neighbors who gave it to them because they liked the goals that he set forth to accomplish. Although Paul didn't mention it, I believe the monitoring and evaluation of Good Earth Farm is done by him and his wife and maybe those who provide funding to him.

The fifteen class

Hello there,

Today we have a lecture about WIC, which is stand for women infants and children. It's an agency about providing Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. This is the website http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/. Almost every mother could get help from this agency, including who is quite rich, they still quite qualified for that program. This agency provides nutrition education, breastfeeding education, supplemental foods, farmer market, and some classes including younger solids and old solids. The lecturer who just burned a baby few months ago, said after the birth process, she has more same feeling with those mom who need help.
