Happy Holidays
If you're tired of the kids just playing video games or all the gifts have lost their appeal or you've seen all the new movies, come on out for a visit. We've got plenty of room for everyone to run free, lots of history to explore, and great products to sample! Plus, we've got the best hot chocolate and ice cream in town.
The Farm Store is open everyday from 8am-6pm. You can take a self-guided tour of the barns and property every day from 8-4pm. You can watch the cows being milked in the milking parlor every day beginning around 4pm. We will host the Green Market in the Red Barn every Saturday from 9-12noon with breakfast being served in the Creamery Loft from 9-11:30am. Lunch is served Wednesday-Saturday 11:30-2pm and dinner is served Friday and Saturday nights from 6-9pm. (We have a holiday dinner Dec. 22 from 6-10pm.) The Dairy Bar is open Wednesday-Sunday from 11:30-5pm.
We hope to see you soon!
