Mobile Dairy Experience

NYAAC unveiled a new interactive dairy experience at The Great New York State Fair this past fall. The Mobile Dairy Experience is a 53-foot, double-expandable trailer “driven by New York dairy.” This immersive experience is a gateway on wheels for people to enter the world of dairy farming, dairy product production, sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices, and so much more!
