We had the best trip to Pineland Farms. We experienced the Moo to You program and the Cheese Making operation! It was awesome! We had a blast! We started in the manure pit (and no other name was acceptable) We learned how this went in a cycle from the land to the animal into by-products that go back to the land! We walked through the heiffer barn and got to pat some of them. When we were in the calf barn, we learned how they name the cows. The "P" names are handed down from the mother of the calf, and the names that start with "P"are traced back all the wayto the herd in England when they arrived back in the 1700's! Amazing! Next we went to the hay barn and threw the hay to see how far we could go! Then we saw the milking parlor and how that works, and got to touch udders and teats (which was a little wierd!) Anyway - the best part was going to the cheese company! We saw them making fresh cheese, and got to taste cheese curd, cheddar, colby, pepper jack and many other types of fresh cheese! We went to lunch at the Pineland farms Cafeteria and enjoyed each others company!
