Down On The Farm

After Saturday brunch, we hopped on board the Good Bus to visit the Jersey Girls Dairy Farm in Chester.

We met Lisa the owner and she led us to one of the areas where the cows live and get milked.



Lisa milks 24 registered Jersey cows. They all enjoy a diet of hay and look forward to their daily milking.




Here is a machine used to produce milk from the cows. In addition to raising the cows, its milk is sold directly to the public. You read correctly. You can buy raw milk from Jersey Girls Dairy. Regular customers from the neighborhood bring their empty containers to fill with milk.


Train tracks cross through the farm's entrance. As you can see, the freight trains were busy.



Lisa also introduced us to the chickens.
