Annie Link, Dairy Discovery, Alto, MI

OUR STORY

Dairy Discovery was a dream started by Annie Link (Oesch) of Swisslane Farms. In 2006, Annie began welcoming classrooms to the farm to learn about where their food comes from and see a farm firsthand.

Swisslane Farms opened their family farm to those pursuing an interest in learning more about modern dairy farming. The interest and need for sharing agriculture’s story was so strong that in 2018 Dairy Discovery officially became a non-profit. Dairy Discovery has focused on providing a personal connection to your food.

Dairy Discovery operates as a sustainable non-profit organization through the generous support of industry partners, sponsors, and a supportive community. Dairy Discovery offers programs, tours, and camps as well as hosting educational open house events. The Dairy Discovery Store also connects with consumers and offers beef, cheese, syrup, and agricultural books. All proceeds from the store support the non-profit efforts.
