Hunting Creek Farms and Galliher Dairy

On June 14, Uncle John and Aunt Dot took us on the grand tour of Galliher Dairy Farms and Hunting Creek Farms.  Addison and Briley loved the cows at the dairy farm.  It was a nice cool morning and we got to see how the farm runs.  The cows were eating ground up corn and we got to see the milking system and a few horses, too.  We watched some of the workers feeding the baby calves with huge milk bottles. The calves don't waste any time gulping their milk down. 





Later, we drove over to Hunting Creek Farms - it was a beautiful place and a beautiful, cool day.  They have several Clydesdales and just so happened they had a team hitched up to a buggy and Briley, Addison and I climbed on and took the most relaxing ride around the farm.   

We got to go into the horse barn and watch while some of the horses were groomed and brushed.  Addison actually got to brush one of them.  She also went up into the loft and saw the kittens.  What a treat for a 6 year old girl.  Horses and kittens.

Thank you Dot and John for a special tour!
