שביל פרות החלב סיור מומלץ בנושא משק החלב
למי שכבר היה במרכז המבקרים דבורת התבור העוסק בדבורים ובדבש הנה המלצה לסיור בנושא הפרות והחלב. שביל פרות החלב בבית לחם הגלילית. סיפור יפה של חקלאים שהבינו בתחילת שנות התשעים שצריך לעשות שינוי ולא להתבסס רק על חקלאות. חשבו מה לעשות, עשו שיעורי בית (בין היתר ביקרו אצלנו בדבורת התבור) ולבסוף החליטו גם הם להקים מרכז מבקרים חקלאי שעובד בהצלחה כבר שנים. סיור מעניין עם ערך חינוכי מוסף כמו שאנחנו אוהבים. מומלץ בחום
