On this episode of the Maine Farmcast, Dr. Glenda Pereira, Assistant Extension Professor & State Dairy Specialist for the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, has an on-farm conversation with Heath Miller. Heath and his family were awarded the 2023 Maine Dairy farm of the year and New England Green Pastures Winner for the state of Maine. The Green Pastures program began in 1947, when New Hampshire’s then-governor Charles Dale bet that his state had greener pastures than anywhere else in New England. For 76 years, the Green Pastures program has recognized one extraordinary dairy farm in each state. The GreenValle Farm began when the Miller’s settled in Newburgh, Maine, in the mid-1850s.
