Milk, Ice Cream, and… Energy? You’ve Never Seen a Dairy Like This
Field Trips with Tara Beaver Coronado

Come along with me as we visit New Hope Dairy and take a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to run a modern dairy farm.
We all know dairies produce milk… and maybe even ice cream. But what happens beyond that might surprise you.
At this farm, cow manure is captured and transformed through a digester system into renewable energy. Instead of releasing emissions into the air, that energy is sent to Sacramento Municipal Utility District and used to help power homes.
It’s a powerful example of how agriculture is evolving—blending tradition with innovation in ways most people never get to see.
If you’ve ever wondered where your food comes from—or how farms are helping shape a more sustainable future—this is a Field Trip you don’t want to miss.
