Their farm and milk processing plant will be open for tours (and samples) to the general public all day Saturday August 18th from... 10:30am-6:00pm, and they would love to meet some of our customers and have them come see where their milk comes from.
They will also have a baby animal section full of baby goats, Jersey calves, baby pigs, lamb, chicks and kittens and the milking goats always love a good pet as well.
