The Career Development Council’s Working Worlds for Educators 2025 second session was an unforgettable experience at Sunset View Creamery, nestled in the scenic hills of Odessa, New York. Our incredible host, Jess Hoffman, didn’t just talk about agriculture—she brought it to life! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the world of farming. We met adorable two-day-old calves, explored an immaculate barn that keeps multiple cow breeds happy and healthy, and witnessed cutting-edge technology that monitors livestock health in seconds. And, of course, no visit would be complete without a taste of farm-fresh goodness! We indulged in handcrafted cheeses and sipped on mocha, maple, and strawberry milk, straight from the Creamery’s Farm Store. A huge thank you to Jess Hoffman for showing us just how fascinating, innovative, and rewarding a career in agriculture can be! 🌿🐄🥛 #PROUDTOBEGST #CareerDevelopmentCouncil #CommunityOrientedatGSTBOCES
