University builds organic dairy farm on campus

The school’s new farm has 45 cows and expects to be milking next December ”Right now we need to build the milking and breeding barns, but some day we could have a visitors center and miles of trails,” Schwab said, pointing to the rolling hills surrounding the 30-acre facility. ”But it’s a big vision, and it’s going to take a lot of money.”
