Fairchild Dairy Teaching and Research Center receive Gold Quality Award

Dairy Farmers of America recently awarded UNH’s Fairchild Dairy Teaching and Research Center with a 2015 Gold Quality Award. The dairy facility has received this award almost every year since the farm’s establishment in 1989. This accomplishment by the facility is a result of the complementary practices used within the dairy and the strategic structure of the farm that aids in both the growth development and the milk yield of the 85 cows, most of which are Holstein and a few are of the Jersey breed. This quality milk is then delivered to the Hood Dairy Plant in Concord and consumed by many Strafford County residents.
