Virtual Farm Tour
The new Animal Health Explorer brings virtual farm tours to you, right in the comfort of your own home! Take a tour through diversified livestock operations to see how other farmers prepare for, and prevent, disease and other livestock health management tips. This interactive experience functions a lot like Google Street View, allowing the user to have 360° access to their surroundings. Users will be guided to read, watch, and explore around real working farms of various sizes and stages of operation to learn about practical health best practices, as well as suggested improvements.
Preview the Virtual Farm Tour:
Discover Stone Grove Farm, an expanding homestead focused on goats, horses, and poultry. As the farm continues to establish its foundation stock, new animals are regularly introduced, making biosecurity a top priority. In addition, agritourism campsites are in development, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the farm and interact with its animals firsthand. The full version will be emailed to you automatically upon registration.

If this is your first time exploring a virtual field trip, we recommend watching the tutorial video, Virtual Field Trip Tutorial – Carla Scocchi (YouTube), for instructions on how to use this 360° platform.
