Sunday, August 7
First we enjoyed some apple cider doughnuts. Then we went to a creamery called Cabot. It is famous for cheddar cheese. This creamery makes all of the cheddars, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese and Monterey Jack cheese with the Cabot name. It takes 10 gallons of milk to make one pound of cheese!
Dairy farmers who participate in Cabot usually have 45 cows. When the milk truck arrives, the milk is tested for antibiotics. If it tests positive, then it is thrown out or given to pigs.
We also visited a maple sugar farm. We got to pick some blueberries, and the theater where we watched a movie about how to make maple syrup was a woodshed! On one of the sugar shacks, there was a real goat on the roof. We had some maple ice cream. I thought all of the tastes today were so good. My favorite was the darkest maple syrup, called Grade B.
