When you come across a dairy farm in the Southeast United States that lets you not only visit with the cows, feed the goats, snag a delicious ice cream sundae, bottle feed the baby cows, and chow down on freshly made cheese, you’ll probably never want to leave. The next time you are in the area of Myakka City, Florida and want some wholesome family fun, then make sure this dairy farm is on your agenda.
If you’ve ever seen these lining the shelves of your local supermarket in Florida, but haven’t yet indulged, it’s high time you take a swig.
But if it isn’t enough that we’re able to purchase this fresh milk practically straight from the source, living in Florida also allows a visit to the farm as well.
Dakin Dairy Farms is the only dairy farm within the state of Florida that is open to the public, and produces and bottles their own milk right there on the spot.
The reason why you might be tasting a creamier, sweeter milk compared to others, is due to the fact that the dairy cows at this farm are fed fresh cut grass from the property twice a day, misted with cool water on hot days, and have an on-site nutritionist to make sure they’re in tip top shape.
Bottle-feeding the baby cows at the Mooternity Ward is always a fan favorite, while listening to the goats bleat at each other will also produce quite a few laughs.
Besides being able to take a farm tour of the property and see for yourself how some of the sweetest milk around is produced, guests can also enjoy an abundance of products offered on-site.
Ready for some farm-fresh ice cream? You can visit Dakin Dairy Farm at 30771 Betts Rd, Myakka City, FL 34251-3401. Make sure to check the calendar first, in order to get more information about the farm tours. The hours for the cafe, farm market, and tours vary.
