9LSC recently completed their farming topic in Geography. To better understand the daily running of a working farm we visited Streamvale on 29th May 2018.

On the trip we got to better experience the pastoral side of farming. In the milking parlour we learned more about which cows were used for dairy and beef farming.  
Some of the milk collected here is used to make ice cream on site which is then sold in the café.  Other uses for it are in local cream, cheese and yogurt products.
