We are thrilled that Steve Veldman, proprietor of Velrob Farms in Embro, Ontario, and a member of the Gay Lea Foods Co-operative, has agreed to visit Uganda to share his farm experience. During our conversation, Steve spoke about his approach to sustainable dairy farming and how the Gay Lea Foods Co-operative helps farmers increase productivity.
We are especially excited to learn from him on a range of topics, including succession planning, commercialization, and ways to make co-operatives more effective. Tapping into Steve’s hands-on experience will be an invaluable opportunity for our farmers and partners.
Velrob Farms, owned by Steve and Carol Veldman, is known for its strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency. The farm has received recognition for its innovative approaches to energy conservation and labor efficiency, making it a model for progressive dairy farming.
