ABOUT
Robie Farm
Robie Farm is a family owned and operated dairy farm located on the banks of the Connecticut River. Seated on an estuary, the farm offers breathtaking views of wooded hillside and green field, supporting a cornucopia of flora and fauna. Six generations have worked the property since 1870 and today Robie Farm is one of few dairy farms that still produces and sells raw milk and cream. The Robie family actively works to reduce the ecological footprint of the farm.

FUN FACTS
The average American may eat 125 pounds of potatoes each year, but corn is actually America’s number one field crop, providing ingredients for cereals, peanut butter, snack foods and soft drinks. The average person eats 68 quarts of popcorn a year alone! Use a trip to an agricultural farm to find out where our fruits and vegetables come from. Compare organic, pesticide-free, and genetically engineered crops. Research the products made possible by crops grown in the U.S. (shampoos, crayons, and baseball bats all come from agricultural products, for example). Ask your local farm about the benefits of eating local or growing your own garden.
