Organic Valley Celebrates National Farmers Day

To celebrate National Farmers Day, Organic Valley is bringing a firsthand farm experience to viewers live from small organic family farms, coast to coast, all day long. Sabrina Servais is a member of the Organic Valley Co-op. She farms near Stoddard.

Thousands of people and dozens of classrooms tuned in to Organic Valley’s successful 2023 farmer livestream, inspiring the cooperative to provide a real-time farm experience this year.

This is the second consecutive year Organic Valley has created this interactive virtual event to see the day-to-day happenings on organic dairy farms in real time. Anyone can join Organic Valley’s annual virtual farm tour tomorrow (Friday) between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Servais says viewers will get virtual mud on their boots, have an opportunity to ask real organic farmers questions, and see how Organic Valley farmers are protecting where food comes from.

The livestream will offer interactive opportunities for classrooms and activities for families including printable educational sheets. Classrooms and families across the country are invited to sign up for the livestream in advance at ethicallysourced.organicvalley.coop/farmer-livestream.

Organic Valley farmers protect more than half a million acres of organic farmland across the country from toxic pesticides – providing habitat for countless plants and animals, keeping waterways clean and combating the climate crisis. The annual National Farmers Day livestream brings these farms to life for children and adults. National Farmers Day is Saturday (Oct. 12). Tomorrow’s (Friday) livestream is one more way to celebrate the farmers caring for animals, people and the planet.
