On November 13th, a few members of the Cook AZ
chapter visited Fulper Family Farmstead in Lambertville, NJ. The Fulper Farm is
a family owned and operated dairy farm that still uses most of their original
farm equipment. It’s a relatively small function, so we talked a lot about
being able to keep up with larger commercial dairies. Fulper uses other aspects
of the business such as cheese making and tourism to make up for not being as
large as other dairies. Another interesting thing we learned about was the
impact of farming on the environment. Fulper Farms is recognized for having no
run off from their manure and other waste products, so they taught us about the
importance of good waste management.
