A group of 5th/6th graders traveled to Cloudland Farm (Pomfret, VT) on Tuesday to conduct research on how local beef is raised. WES received a $250 mini-grant from the Ottauquechee Community Partnership (OCP) to assist in their participation in the June 4th Trek to Taste event held in Woodstock. The students will research the difference between how a small local farm raises cattle, compared to a large commercial cattle farm. They will be making mini-meatballs and a display board for the Trek to Taste event. The students are interested in finding out whether taste testers can tell the difference between grass feed meat and commercial meat! Keep checking in to see our progress or we will see you on June 4th at the Trek to Taste event!!!!! (A big THANK YOU to Cathy Emmons for taking time out her day to help us with our research!)
