“Busy Woman” blogger tours a modern dairy and leaves with a fresh perspective

Browsing blogs to see what people are saying about modern dairy farming and production agriculture can be discouraging because, like it or not, both sides of the fence are out there. It was nice to see a health and wellness blogger recently take an open-minded approach to learning more about what we do and realizing there is a lot to learn.

Eliz Greene is a blogger from Milwaukee, Wis. Her "Busy Woman's Guide" blog and website focuses on strategies to live longer, feel better, and stress less. According to her website, she writes one of the top 100 health and wellness blogs. Greene suffered a heart attack when she was 7 months pregnant with twins. After open-heart surgery and a Caesarian delivery of twin daughters in the same day, she now is a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association, a mother, and professional speaker.

Greene visited a western Wisconsin dairy recently which was home to 800 cows. She admits in her blog that she previously only had the media’s view of “factory farming.” Greene was impressed with just how happy the cows looked — especially when they used the mechanical back scratcher. She also talks about the “soul” that goes into our family farms. After her visit, she is open to learning more about what modern farming is really like. In her blog post, she asks for even more information from farmers about their job and food production. We’d like to thank Eliz for taking time to learn more about our job and seeking out good information in her quest of living a healthier lifestyle.

Do you know of any other bloggers with a non farm background that are learning more about how their food is produced? Comment below; we would love to hear about it.
