Creamery & Farm Tour on Saturday, October 17th - 10am to 5pm

Monday, October 12, 2020
Hello friends,
              The leaves are really falling now.  We have maples in our yard, but not the beautiful sugar maples that turn a vibrant red.  Just yellow.  The porch is becoming a collection spot for the leaves, but the next windy day should take care of that.  Honestly, we never bother raking leaves unless Carl wants to play in them.  The lawn mower mulches most of them, and the rest usually blow into the pasture where they decompose and fertilize the soil. 
              This Saturday is the Creamery and Farm Tour!  Yeah!  We’ll be finished with chores and ready by our usual opening time of 10:00.  Please don’t come before that or you’ll have to wait for us to be done.  I know it would be cool to watch us milk, but we can’t get our work done and give tours at the same time.  There is no set time to come, but hopefully there will be a steady stream of tour takers.  We’ll gather a group and start in the creamery, then progress outside to look at the animals, ending back in the store front if you want to try some samples and take some delicious home.  Bring a cooler if you want to take home some milk.  The last tour needs to be done by 5:00 p.m. so we can catch our breath and get ready for evening chores.  Directions are pretty straightforward:  Take 69 Hwy. south to the Mound City exit (just past the Pleasanton Casey’s exit), turn left over the overpass, follow the blacktop as it makes a sweeping turn to the right and over Mine Creek, then left on 800 Rd. for ¾ mile and we are on the left.  Or you can just Google directions! LOL!…
