Western New England Chapter Field Trip and Happy Hour
June 29, 2023 @ 2:45 pm - 6:00 pm
Please join the Western New England Chapter of NEWIEE for a field trip to Barstow’s Longview Farm! The walking tour of the farm will include Barstow’s anaerobic digester, milking robot, milking barn, and calf barn. The farm’s zero-waste, closed-loop anaerobic digester converts the energy potential in farm and food waste into electricity, heat, and fertilizer. Learn more about their energy production, land stewardship and more on June 29!
Following the tour, we will head to Progression Brewing Company (9 Pearl Street, Northampton, MA 01060) for happy hour networking. Can’t make it to the farm? Feel free to meet us at Progression at 4:30PM.
What to wear:
Please wear shoes that can get a bit dirty, clothes that can get smelly, and appropriate clothing for the weather – rain coat, sunglasses, sunscreen, winter hat, mud boots, etc.
When you arrive:
Tours begin and end at Barstow’s Dairy Store and Bakery. Please park in the store parking lot. You can reach the store by putting 172 Hockanum Road, Hadley, MA into your GPS.
