Young's Jersey Dairy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young's Jersey Dairy is a family-operated dairy farm and restaurant located in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
The Young family farm was established in 1869, which was when they built the property's iconic red barn. During the Great Depression, the Young family was forced to sell the farm to their neighbors. However, the family purchased the property again after World War II.[1] The Young's Jersey Dairy company began in 1946.[2] Beginning in the 1950s, the family began selling milk from their dairy operations, expanding to cheese and some food items such as sandwiches and hot dogs in the 1960s. They started selling ice cream in 1981, for which they are best known today.[1] In 2019, the farm celebrated its 150th anniversary, for which Ohio Governor Mike DeWine presented the business with a proclamation.[3]
Visitor attractions
Young's Jersey Dairy has several visitor attractions outside the scope of a typical dairy farm, including batting cages and miniature golf.[1] The farm also has a petting zoo where visitors can interact with cows, goats, and pigs.[4] They also have fall seasonal activities such as a corn maze, pumpkin picking, and wagon rides, as well as winter seasonal activities like allowing guests to cut their own Christmas trees.[5]
