Burlington Milk Stroll
The Mother’s Miracle Milk™ Stroll is casual walk around the park or down the mall to show our excitement and solidarity for this historic first – a national fundraising and awareness campaign for the human milk cause!
It’s not a march, or a walk for distance. Each location will decide for how long or how far they choose to stroll.
Whether it’s delivered at the breast, by pumping or by donor, human milk IS Miracle Milk™. It is a complex “living” elixir of hundreds of ingredients that have the power to save lives, prevent disease, and promote and protect our health from birth – and for a lifetime. We don’t need more science, we need more solutions to help more moms get more Miracle Milk™ to more of our fragile babies!
Human Milk Saves Lives and does EVERY body better

Dairy Day at the Farm!
Visit Shelburne Farms from 1pm to 4pm and go down to the dairy and meet the spring calves and their amazing moms in our Brown Swiss herd!! Take a wagon ride to see the pastures and watch the calves get their afternoon milk. This is a time to explore the barns and buildings at the dairy and see how we get the milk that makes our award winning cheddar cheese. The cows will come down the lane for afternoon milking in “cow parade” style and can be viewed in the parlor while they are machine milked.
Cost: $5/car | walkers free
