At The Little Brook Farm, in Old Chatham, 5 year-old volunteer Willow Pelizza urges Abe, the largest horse on the farm, who has been knocking over the feed buckets. At 19 hands and about 2,000 pounds, Abe is a gentle giant, and also a former police horse.
Dairy farmer Eric Ooms (second from r) and his son Noah (r) showed a tour group one of the milking robots on the farm. He said that on Saturday the farm was milking 425 cows.
Ooms and Sons, in Valatie, is a multigenerational dairy farm that has been producing milk in the town for over 70 years. It is a majority supplier for Beecher’s Cheese in Manhattan and belongs to the Cabot/McCadam cooperative. Noah Ooms takes a tour group through one of the dairy barns.
