The Dairy Classroom

The Dairy Classroom is a mobile milking parlour that brings agricultural education to the community. The presentation features a real BC Holstein milking cow being milked just as it would be on the farm. The process of milk production will be discussed from the corn field all the way to the processing plant. Come and learn where your milk comes from…and bring your questions!

The Dairy Classroom program is coordinated by Chilliwack resident, Daryl Cherry. Daryl was raised on a Dairy Farm in Mt. Lehman. From 1964 to 1996 Daryl has owned and operated Cherry Farms Ltd., a Dairy Farm, in partnership with his father. Daryl has been the coordinator of the Abbotsford Agrifair Dairy Classroom since 1998 and has been working with the Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation to do demonstration at schools and other events around the province. Daryl is also involved with 4H activities and is the Leader at the Matsqui 4-H Holstein Club.

Dairy Classroom demonstrations, including milking of the cow, will be held at the Kitsilano Community Centre and are scheduled for 11am, 1pm and 3pm.
