| - I'm sorry to only leave 3 stars, but the tour was less than informational and it was $43 for a family of 4.
I have lived in the Valley for almost 30 years. I have seen many, many dairy farms move away from the developing suburbs. Truthfully, it is sad. Yes, I wouldn't want to live across the street from one, but it brings a sense of rural-ness to the ever growing Valley of the Sun.
But I digress, we have taken this same tour 8 years ago and it has changed, not for the better.
Our "tour guide" couldn't answer basic questions and didn't really seem to be knowledgeable about the workings of the farm. At one point, she was telling the group about colostrum from the female cows, but wasn't able to provide answers to follow up questions. Then, I wasn't even sure she knew what colostrum is.
Anyway, my oldest didn't get much from the tour and my youngest was only interested in petting and feeding the animals.
The milk bar was ok. The milk was cold, but they mix flavors of jell-o or pudding into the milk. I can do that at home. My milk was actually more of a pudding consistency.
The ice cream was fine. It was ice cream. It is made off property.
Overall, our kids enjoyed it, but for $43 for about 60 minutes, I was disappointed. Plus, the last time we went they had a Moo-niversity class that was more informational. Maybe this was during a field trip? Or they have stopped this part of the tour.
Again, I'm sorry to leave 3 stars, but it wasn't worth it.
