If you need a break from all the heavy news lately, take a trip on down to the farm!
October 12 is National Farmer's Day and to celebrate, Organic Valley is throwing the World's Biggest Small Farm Livestream.
It's a firsthand farm experience live from small organic family farms, coast to coast, all day long, that you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch.
Organic Valley says it's a "first-of-its-kind farm experience you won't want to miss."
"Walk in the boots of a real Organic Valley farmer, (virtually) boop a cow on the nose, frolic among free range chickens, drink in the natural beauty of our organic pastureland, and learn how these small organic farms are doing big things to protect where your food comes from," the company said.
Those watching will get a view of the landscape and biodiversity on Organic Valley farms in Ohio, Oregon, Wisconsin and Vermont.
Organic Valley said part of the inspiration for the livestream came from consumers themselves. According to a recent survey, 81% of Americans say it is important to them to know where their food comes from, yet fewer than 2 in 5 (39%) have ever visited a dairy farm and fewer than 1 in 6 (15%) say they personally know a dairy farmer.
The video is streaming all day long Thursday on Organic Valley's YouTube channel.
