Jonathan Gates reports from Howmars Farm in Franklin, Vermont.Howmars is a certified organic dairy farm, one of many
Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative farmer members who supply
the milk that goes into making Stonyfield's yogurts and smoothies.
The entire family pitches in on this third-generation farm.
Jonathan and his father, Howard, converted the farm
from conventional dairy farming to organic 9 years ago.
Meet Jonathan.
He farms with his wife Karen, sons Benjamin, Justin,
and Noah, and Jonathan's parents, Howard and Mary.
And, of course, the cows.
