Open Farm Day at Mistyglen

Taytum Pattenden, 7, left, and her brothers Carson, 5, and Colton, 9, of Sebright (near Orillia) petted some dairy cows in one of the barns at Mistyglen Holsteins south of Belmont on Yorke Line on Saturday, June 25. Mistyglen owners Suzanne Pettit and her brother Tom Pettit hosted the open house at their robotic dairy operation to show anyone who visited how the milk they drink is produced. Mr. Pettit said his entire farm operation was open to the public that day. Those who came by were treated to free pizza, chocolate milk and ice cream. The event was co-sponsored by a number of local businesses along with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.
