Boadwine Open House Shows Homestead Farm Development
South Dakota Ag Connection - 06/22/2018

Boadwine Farms invites the public to its dairy near Baltic on June 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. South Dakota Farm Families is hosting this free, family friendly event along with Boadwine Farms.

Guests to the dairy can take a trolley tour of the facility to see how technology has played a role in the expansion of Boadwine Farms over the years. Attendees will see cows being milked and have the opportunity to meet baby calves. Visitors will also be able to meet the three generations of Boadwine family members currently involved in the farm. For children, there will be a petting zoo, bouncy house, and corn adventure trailer. Free cheeseburgers, brats, and ice cream will be served.

Cows have been milked on the Boadwine Farm since it was homesteaded the family in 1874. Lynn and Trish Boadwine are the current owners and operators of the farm, and have seen the farm through many changes as it transformed into a modern dairy. Today, Boadwine Farms has 2,100 milking cows and works to be a valuable partner of the ag community. The farm uses technology to reduce their impact on the environment and keep the cows comfortable and healthy. The Boadwine Family is excited to share about their farm with visitors at the open house.

Boadwine Dairy is located at 46945 251st Street, Baltic. The farm is located three miles west of Interstate 29 at the Baltic exit 94, one mile south on Minnehaha County Highway 137 and 1/2 mile west on 251st Street. Signs will be posted directing traffic to parking areas. There will be on-site parking for the event.

The event is sponsored in part by South Dakota Farm Families and Ag United, Midwest Dairy Association and the South Dakota Soybean Promotion Research Council and the United Soybean Board.
