What an amazing year for the Orange County 4-H Incubation and Embryology Program!

This spring, we brought the program to 56 classrooms and one 4-H club, reaching over 1,300 youth in grades K-4 across Orange County. Students experienced the excitement of watching chicks hatch, learned about embryonic development, and gained a greater appreciation for agriculture and animal science.

The wonder and enthusiasm on hatch day created lasting memories and sparked curiosity in countless young learners. We are grateful to all the teachers, schools, volunteers, and participants who helped make this program a success.

Thank you for being part of this memorable experience—we can't wait to hatch more learning and excitement next year!

Throughout the decades, National Dairy Month has become a platform for educational outreach, farm tours, community breakfasts, and public appreciation for dairy farmers. It’s a reminder that behind every glass of milk or wedge of cheese is a farmer and a family dedicated to sustainable agriculture.
Today, National Dairy Month focuses not only on promoting the health benefits of dairy but also on highlighting sustainable practices, innovation in the industry, and the stories of the farm families behind the scenes. Social media campaigns, school programs, 4-H programs, FFA chapters, and local events bring consumers closer to the source of their food, often emphasizing farm-to-table connections.
In counties like Orange County, NY, this month is a meaningful time to celebrate the resilience of local dairy farms and their contribution to food security, land stewardship, and community heritage.
