Trips

Since 2001, dairy producers and ​community members have been traveling to Mexico, principally to rural Veracruz and surrounding states like Oaxaca, Hidalgo, & Puebla, to visit families and better understand the culture of the employees that come to work on farms in Southeastern Minnesota and West Central Wisconsin. When dairy producers meet wives, parents, children, sisters, and brothers of their employees, a bond is created that often results in employee longevity and productivity and most importantly, builds strong connections between people of very different cultures, but similar wants and needs.
