We All Scream for Ice Cream!

By Danielle Thomas, Local Mom and Macaroni Kid Contributing Writer July 24, 2016
Right outside Atlanta, in Braselton, Ga, my family enjoyed a free tour of Mayfield Dairy Farms!  It is here, that Mayfield milk products are born.  My kids loved seeing everything from how milk products were made, to browsing in the gift shop, to purchasing their favorite scoop of ice cream in the old fashioned ice cream parlor!  This is a tour you don’t want to miss, and sure to keep everyone’s attention!

Milking machines, utters and lots of brown cows are some of the spectacles you’ll see on this fabulous tour of one of the freshest milk plants in the country. My kids learned why yellow milk jugs are used for storage and how this aids in the freshness of the milk.  Plus, we all got the unique opportunity to milk a very special cow!  You will have to see what I mean.  A definite must do!  

Milk is king here, but Mayfield Dairy Farms also has juices, drinks, and teas that they manufacture as well!  Mouthwatering recipes are plentiful too, so come on out to see what’s in store!  My family and I adored it! 


Mayfield Dairy Farms is located at 1160 Broadway Ave, Braselton, GA 30517.  It’s just a short drive up I-85 N.  Please visit www.mayfielddairy.com for tour times.
