They have everything in their country store, love em'!! I used to be there when I was "HOPE" the cow for Landon's will 😁
Fresh milk as well as produce and other products. Great prices and a lot of fun for children to be able to pet the baby calves and a cute play area.
I visited Circle N Family Dairy expecting a nice family outing, but it was truly traumatizing for my kids and me. The baby calves were separated from their mothers, tied up at the front, and one calf was even chewing on the chain. They were left in the sun, isolated, and looked starving, which was absolutely heartbreaking. As a parent, it was unbearable to explain to my child why these babies were being treated this way. I also discovered that their strawberry & chocolate milk has artificial flavors and colors, which was disappointing given the farm’s reputation. I truly hope they reconsider the care of their animals and the quality of their products.
Tried and loved their double chocolate fudge and cinnamon bun ice cream flavors. Getting to meet the calf’s was also very cute. We will definitely return when in going back through north Texas.
Cute little dairy farm. Absolutely love how they allow you to pet the baby cows 💗. Be mindful with your little ones around them. We tried the ice cream and it was yummy. The cows love it when you give them a good scratch under the chin 🥲.
This was a neat place. I just moved to Texas back in the fall and I’ve been trying to find a place to get raw milk that fits my schedule. I wasn’t anticipating the fact that it was going to be honor system Farmstand style, but I liked it just the same I had to drive two hours to the farm, but it was worth it I also got some ground beef that I will be using in the next week or so. It would be nice though to have grocery bags of some kind to make transport easier.
Lovely family owned dairy farm! Michelle was great and walked us through every step of the milking process. The kids got to learn how to milk a cow and feed a calf a bottle! 😍 I was surprised to learn they also make their own cheese and ice cream! Their onsite store had a great selection of fresh dairy, delicious ice cream, cheese, meats, jams and jellies, crafts, and much more!
Great family trip to the farm. So great to pick out your groceries and see where it all comes from. The little store is in the middle of the farm, so you are able to experience so much more than simply going to market.
It was a fun family experience. We have been to farms before, but this one was cool. The play area is small, but it does allow for the kids just to run and play and be creative. The farm is a functioning dairy farm, so the work, the animals, and the smells are very much real. It's a great learning experience for everyone, and definitely worth the trip. Best part was the shop. My children are lactose intolerant. It is awesome to see such a full selection of raw milk products like cheese, milk, and yogurt. The shop also stocked other items like beef jerky, local honey, and sausage. If you have an afternoon it is worth a visit.
