Homestead Creamery





The local MOPS Group in our area (Mother's of Preschoolers) went on a tour of the Homestead Creamery today. Around 30 of us including children were able to tour the creamery and the dairy farm.

Before any of us could enter the creamery, we had to put on hair nets. Don't we look lovely?

We learned how the ice cream, butter, and milk were made. They even gave us samples of ice cream and milk too. It was a special treat because my neighbor and her two kids were able to join us this year as well.

After we toured the creamery, we headed over to the dairy farm and all the kids got to pet a baby calf that was less than a week old. It was so cute. It reminded me of "Norman" on City Slickers.

At the end of our tour all the kids were given a coloring book, pencil, eraser and sticker.

This play date is such a huge hit...we are already making plans to go again next year!
