All Grass Farms Dairy Cows

As the story goes, the farmers cooled the cans of cows’ milk in the chilly waters of the Spring Bird creek, back when it was a dairy farm, a century ago. 

With the cows long gone, forest has flourished, but you can still get fresh milk from All Grass Farms not far from Spring Bird. 

We were able to meet the cows and a couple of their calves during our farm tour. The dairy cows, all with adorable names like “Daisy”, are productive ladies that are herded twice daily to the barn for milking. 

In between milkings they are free to munch on fresh grass, since they are moved each day to new pasture. 

We were careful to step over cow pies, which I was surprised to see were pie sized – or even larger – as we stroked the backs of these large ladies, occasionally swatting the pesky flies from their faces with the backs of our hands. 

They were a highlight of the tour, for me, anyway!

Have you ever tried raw milk? I hear it makes the best cheese!
