In April, my family traveled to Yellow Springs, OH to visit the Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm. Dating back to 1869, Young’s Jersey Dairy prides itself on their delicious dairy products from cheese to homemade ice cream. We traveled there with a goal to see the 2024 Eclipse, which was life changing, and found that this farm was a perfect day trip with the kids. Young’s Jersey is about an hour outside of Columbus, OH. They offer food, fun and seasonal events.
After arriving, we went inside the main building to get some much-needed lunch. The menu is very simple and can attract even the pickiest of eaters. We got cheeseburgers, fries, chicken nuggets and their famous Young’s Farmstead Fried Chedder Cheese Curds. The cheese curds were amazing and highly recommended. They serve breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 2pm.
Afterward, we walked outside to see the farm animals. Young’s Jersey has goats and cows which are very friendly and loves attention. For a small price, you can feed the goats and then go inside the barn to pet the Young Jersey calves. My kids loved having the goats lick up treats from their hands.
More fun included batting cages, putt-putt, a large slide, a driving range and a fenced in play area equipped with slides for the little ones. Each activity did cost money, but it was a great way to burn some energy and have fun. The summer of 2024, a large carousel will open to add to the excitement on the farm.
The best part of this farm had to be the homemade ice cream. With over 20 flavors you are sure to find a favorite for everyone. We had coffee, cotton candy, chocolate, lemon blueberry cheesecake and the limited time total eclipse, all of which were creamy and sweet!
Since we were there to see the 2024 Eclipse, Young’s Jersey gave out free glasses for our viewing pleasure. The farm had ample space and some seating available although we brought our own chairs.
Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we will definitely be returning for a day on the farm. If you have ever visited Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm, what was your favorite thing to do?
