SUMMARY:Modern Dairy Farming in Action: A B2B Tour of Bonna Terra Farms
DESCRIPTION: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. \nBonna 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. \nAt 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. \nThere’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. \nThursday\,  October 1\, 2026 at 5:00 PM\nBonna Terra Farms\n2460 Cox Road\nBloomfield\, NY 14469 \nWhat to Wear\nPlease dress appropriately for the weather. Regular footwear is fine for the primary tour route\, but boots are encouraged for anyone who would like the opportunity to venture a little farther into the barns. \nTo Close Out the Tour \nAnd because no dairy tour should end without ice cream\, those who would like to keep the evening going can join us afterward at Shark’s Custard & Candy in Bloomfield for a sweet finish to the tour! \nPlease use the form below to register for the October 1st B2B Tour. \n\n\n                \n                        Name(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    First\n                                                    \n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                            Last\n                                                            \n                                                        \n                            \n                        Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Guests   Add   Remove\n         Submit
