Milk Cows
Do you have milk-a-cow on your bucket list? This tour is for you! The tour focuses on getting to know our Guernsey cows, and learning to milk them. You’ll get to feed treats to the cows, brush the cows, and maybe even do a little cow snuggling. We’ll show you how to prepare them for milking, how to hand milk, and then you’ll have a chance to do some milking yourself, which will be either machine milking or hand milking depending on the preference of the cow that we have available. For machine milking, you’ll learn to hand milk a little bit and then learn how to put the machine on to milk the cow out the rest of the way. If the cow we have available prefers hand milking, then you’ll learn how to hand milk and then continue with hand milking to perfect your technique. $225 for two people, additional people are $75 each. You’ll need to wear closed-toed practical shoes and be prepared to walk around the farm.
