The Farm | South Mountain Creamery

Daily Activities

Come and take a look behind the scenes of a real working farm. Pet the calves, see the milking parlor at work, and stop in at the cow barn—the cows are always excited for guests! You never know you may even get to see a calf come into the world. Here are the highlights:

Feed the Calves

4:00 p.m. daily (currently closed to the public)

Our calves can get quite rambunctious at feeding time! Our calves are bottle-fed every day at 4 p.m. in our calf barn. Bottle-feeding them ensures they get plenty of the proper nutrition and food to grow on. If you are interested in helping us feed our calves, make sure you arrive early—we provide bottles to visitors for feeding on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Watch The Cows Being Milked

Starting at 1:30 p.m. daily
