Trip to the Dairy Farm. . .

Today Big T and I ventured out to a working dairy farm that gives tours.  These folks were the best!  The young lady that was our guide was very knowledgeable in the history of the farm since her grandfather started it.  We went on a hay ride around the pastures and got to see these beautiful cows. They milk their cows and make cream, butter, and ice cream right on the farm. We got to see the milking room and where the cows stay when they are expecting.    These cows are treated very well.   They are milked twice a day and the rest of the time they are kept in a cooling barn especially on hot days.  Here is the website for the dairy:  www.homelandcreamery.com
If you have a dairy farm near you that offers tours I highly recommend a trip.  We also stopped by a local pre-Revelutionary War battlefield.  We got our history lesson for today.  Check out your community around you, you might be surprised at how much history you will find.  We had a wonderful day learning a few things.
On another note, Sprat is at Mission camp this week with our Church.  So far they have torn down an old shed, for a neighbor of our Church, and taken away the garbage from it.   They have a few more things like this to do this week.
