Trader's Point Creamery Tour

Nicholas and Caleb Hicks at Trader's Point Farm

Free range cattle

Nicholas and the chickens

On April 29, Nicholas, Mae and I went on a field trip to Trader's Point Creamery and Farm with our homeschooling group. This farm is all organic with free-range cattle and chickens. They make yogurt, cheese, ice cream and there is a restaurant on the property where they serve organic meals made from some of the vegetables and dairy products from the farm. One of the more memorable moments of the tour was meeting Dennis, the bull. He has 40 ladies that are gestating and he is quite protective right now. In fact, while our tour guide, Patrick, was showing us the cattle on the farm, Dennis put on quite a show by moaning and snorting and pawing the grass with his hoof. The only thing separating a testosterone-charged Dennis and my precious children was a thin electric fence line. Thankfully, he stayed put. The other high point of our tour was getting to sample the ice cream made there at the creamery. Yum.
