A Glimpse Inside Agriculture At Family Farm Days By Dayna M. Reidenouer

The miniature ice cream cones and samples of chocolate milk have long been a staple of Family Farm Days at Oregon Dairy, 2900 Oregon Pike, Lititz.

When Lisa Colon’s son, Isreali, went to Army boot camp in 2016, Lisa looked for other area mothers who would understand that experience and offer answers and support. “I have a friend at church whose son was in the Marines, but he was out by then,” said Lisa.
