Join Rochester Rotary B2B for a behind-the-scenes tour of Bonna Terra Farms in Bloomfield and get an inside look at how a modern dairy operation works.

Bonna Terra is one of three family-owned farms within the Willow Bend Farms operation, along with Willow Bend Farm in Manchester and Spring Hope Dairy in Clifton Springs. Together, the farms represent a multi-generational family business that has grown and modernized over the years while remaining deeply connected to agriculture and the local community.

At Bonna Terra, the focus is on the milking herd. During our tour, we’ll see the barns and milking operation firsthand, including Bonna Terra’s impressive 80-stall rotary milking center, where up to 80 cows can be milked at one time. We’ll learn how the farm manages a large dairy herd, the systems and equipment involved in daily operations, and how today’s dairy farms balance efficiency, animal care, workforce needs, and the demands of producing milk on a large scale.

There’s also a strong local connection between Bonna Terra and the dairy products many of us already have in our refrigerators. Willow Bend Farms sells its milk through the farmer-owned Upstate Niagara Milk Cooperative. Their milk can be found throughout the region under the Upstate Farms brand, as well as in all Wegmans and Tops stores under their store-brand dairy labels.
