What You Can Do
The family dairy makes hand-pressed gouda rounds and homemade ice cream from its own organic milk. The farm store sells both, along with milk, and the ice cream flavours rotate with the seasons. Cow cuddling is the farm's bookable experience: 50 minutes with the herd for $50 per person, with a waiver to sign beforehand. The farm also advertises a tour of the working farm; email [email protected] for details.
