In 2006, the University Farm transitioned a portion of the University Farm for the purpose of developing a program in organic, pasture-based dairy production and management. This particular production paradigm was developed to bring a more sustainable dairy model into the curriculum, and also serves to expose our students to organic methodology. 

The unit is run by the Dairy Management Team (DMT), which includes 10-12 student employees who are charged with the day-to-day operations of the unit.
