Churn Back Time: Dairy Days at the Village

Step into the rhythm of 19th-century farm life as we explore some of the daily routines of early 19th-century New England farm families. Stroll among the vibrant Cow Parade art installations, then watch costumed interpreters hand-churn butter, craft cheese, tend to milk cows, and prepare traditional dairy products using historic tools and methods. Highlights include:

·     See demonstrations of making cream cheese (Saturday), soft cheese (Sunday), and hard cheese

·     Visit the farm that our heritage breed cattle call home and meet a calf up close

·     Learn about the process of making ice cream using 19th-century methods and receipts (recipes) – including Parmesan ice cream!

·     Watch a milking demonstration

·     Enjoy CowParade at the Village and see more than two dozen unique, imaginative life-size cow sculptures painted by artists from around the region

·     Chat with our artisans as they create some of the tools necessary for dairying, like buckets and milk pans

·     Stop by the Scoop Show for a sweet summer treat

·     And more!
