Dakin Dairy Farms

Fun for kids of all ages and a great learning experience!
We enjoyed the tour to see milk from cows to the jug. Go on Friday if you want to see the bottling process. No bottling on Th or Sat. Wear clothes that can get a little dirty as there is a sand pile and hay maize.

It’s really fun to come here. You will learn a lot about how a dairy farm is run. It’s very interesting. The tour lasts for about two hours. Bring closed toe shoes because there are fire ants. There is a nice play area for kids where you can hang out after the tour:

Over priced for what you get. It’s just a tourist trap, don’t fall for it like we did. Not that much to see or learn. The kids were bored with the tour. They even make you pay extra to feed their ducks. The price of the tour tickets should have included that although it was less than a dollar it just felt like they were nickel and diming you, and of course you have to buy it so your kids can feed the ducks like everyone else is. The tour was way over crowded our kids had to sit on our laps to make room for everyone they are 8 and 11 so too big to comfortably sit on our lap The samples of butter and milk ran out while we didn’t get samples those sitting at the table of the tour guide got seconds and even thirds. The guide was not attentive to make sure the samples were passed around. Then said oh, y’all didn’t get any, sorry we ran out! The picnic area was nice the kids enjoyed it. The food was over priced. Overall just a waste of time over priced tourist trap! We wish we hadn’t wasted our time or money here.

A WONDERFUL PLACE!!!
I brought my 3 year old daughter and her friend to take the tour and see the cows, but there was so much more. The girls were able to play on the sand mountain and dig for fossils, pet and feed the animals including sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and calves. Played in the hay maze and on the swings. The tour is very informative regarding the process of getting milk from cow to table, and you get a sample of the milk afterwards. The chocolate is amazing, but we bought several kinds of milk & creamers to take home.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and I thank them for giving us a wonderful day and extraordinary memories.

The best milk ever! They feed their cows a grass diet as the pervious review mentions. Their milk comes from their cows only. It is not combined with 10 other farms like the big chain stores. Meaning you actually know what’s in your milk. We use their dairy products to make our ice cream. The have the absolute best heavy cream. You actually have to remove the thick cream from the top of the container (which is soooo tasty). Not to mention the prices are amazing! If you don’t want to drive their you can go to the stand previously mentioned. However, I personally enjoy the drive out the the farm.

Grass fed, locally raised dairy products. How can you go wrong? This is absolutely the best milk I have ever had in my life. The combination of freshness and diet makes a drastic improvement over store bought. If you cannot make it all the way to the dairy, a little produce stand just east of I-​75 Fruitville exit sells their milk. About the same price you would pay for a premium milk in the grocery but wayyy less thank organic. I can’t wait until they make their foray into cheese. Also sells Kosher.
