Thanks for following along with #AALPclass20’s journey. We can’t wait to pass the torch to #AALPclass21 later this year!

A fantastic graduation ceremony to wrap up 18 months of experiential learning through in-person seminars, study tours and webinars. It’s bittersweet to see it all come to an end, but the relationships built and memories made through AALP will last a lifetime 💚

Our final stop of the day was extra special! We were treated to a tour of Beverly Greenhouses by one of our very own - Daniel Vander Hout & his father, Jan. We learned about their innovative approach to integrated pest management & all things cucumber production & packing.

A look at organic beef production in Lithuania. This farm is home to 500 Limousin cattle. They are a fully integrated cow-calf and finishing farm. The end market for these cattle is Italy.

Taking a moment to reflect on 10 days of learning, networking & new experiences. Thank you to our many gracious hosts for taking the time to share your knowledge with us & to the trip organizers for making it all happen!

Agriculture is a very important part of trade for Lithuania, with agricultural and food products making up 19.3% of overall exports. Dairy, beef & grain are a large part of these exports.
