Interesting. The University of Connecticut (UCONN), the largest public university in the state, started as an agricultural college, and still has a very active agricultural department. When we're having trouble with pests in our gardens, or want our soil tested, UCONN has the expertise to help us out. They still have a very active farming department, with their own herd of dairy cows. They serve ice cream made from the milk of these cows at a diary bar on campus. It's the best ice cream in New England. Better than Ben and Jerry's.
