Clovermead Dairy Farm

On October 31, the LEAF class of Norwell went to Clovermead dairy outside of Drayton. Korb Whale runs the family farm and is the 7th generation to do so. The class learned a lot about Korb’s freestall barn and how he uses the manure from the cows to run his anaerobic digester. His digester creates electricity out of cow manure and food waste. He uses the electricity to power his farm and sell access to the grid. We would just like to thank Korb for his time and the amazing tour of his farm. It was a great example of sustainable agriculture.
