Minerva Dairy rolls out virtual butter-making tour for students
America’s oldest family-owned creamery connects with the next generation of entrepreneurs and agricultural leaders via one-of-a-kind Zoom field trip.
Minerva Dairy, America’s oldest family-owned creamery, said it is doing its part to inspire and educate students from a distance this fall by offering virtual tours of its butter-making facilities.
The idea for providing a digital tour came after Adam Mueller and Venae Watts — siblings representing the Minerva, Ohio-based creamery’s fifth generation of ownership — became determined not to let field trip and tour cancellations brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic interrupt the company’s ability as an essential agricultural business to make a positive impact and impression on today’s youth.
