Pasture Day 2025
Pasture Day is a farm favorite!
After inspecting and repairing fence, the farmers are ready to let the girls out of the barn and into the field. Spring is here! And with winter months in the barn behind them, the cows will be prancing their way into the green green grass!
This event is not to be missed!
Grab some lunch and some ice cream – and a spot on the hill! The heifers are released at 1:00pm!
We’ll be offering free walking farm tours at 11:30am and 1:30pm. Please note we will not accommodate late arrivals! Wear shoes that can get muddy. The walking tour is about 1/4 mile and involves hills, uneven terrain, and weather.
Live music on the porch by Old Country Road, noon-2pm.
This is a free, family friendly event at your local dairy farm! Hope to see you there!
In an effort to minimize wait times, we will be offering, 11am-2pm on Pasture Day, ice cream at our drive thru window (walk-up of course, drive thru will be closed to cars), and a limited menu inside. Here it is, and thank you!:
