LEADERSHIP NIAGARA TOURS TWO GASPORT FARMS

I am a member of this year's Leadership Niagara class. On Thursday we toured 5 agricultural establishments across Niagara County including two in Gasport....Becker Farms and Gasport View Dairy. At Beckers the class heard about agri-tourism and sampled wines. At the dairy farm the class got to see cows, the milking process, and manure up close and personal.


It was a great experience for the LN class, most being "cityfolk" and never experiencing farm life. The Vizcarra's and Whites were GREAT hosts.


The Lockport US&J covered the day here (with an emphasis on the morning's start-up that featured discussions about ag trends)...
