APAP - An association of farmers
This group is made up of 34 farmers and their families, and over the last few years most farms have been visited. From this, teaching sessions have been planned to increase the farmers knowledge.
Each year farms are revisited to see how farmers are doing, answer further questions and gather more information to keep up their education.

The Bull
A Bull was purchased for the APAP group in order to produce more offspring, mixing in genetically superior material.
By July 2010, the bull had produced over 100 offspring. The bull died in the fall of 2010. Plans are underway to purchase another bull for the group. | Food Concentrate
A grinding machine to produce higher quality food for the cows. Better food = better nutrition = increased milk production. By having the machine, local farmers are able to grow their own grains, and use the machine to produce the ingredients for the concentrate. Previously farmers have to travel and purchase, which was out of reach for most of them therefore the cows were only fed grasses.
