Eliot's preschool class visited Killian's Dairy Farm down in Moreau last week. Killian's is a family farm owned and worked by the parents of one of the little boys in the class. In the cool morning sun, we hopped on a trailer padded with hay bales and traveled around the acreage, visiting pregnant cows and watching tractors trundling slowly over tilled earth seeding hay and corn.
Back at the calf barn, Eliot stepped right up and tried his hand at feeding a baby some of the abundant mama's milk.
A little first-hand experience experience with the process piqued Eliot's curiosity, so, a few days after our farm tour, we went to the library and checked out a book about how ice cream is made.
Next stop: Stewart's. A single scoop with rainbow sprinkles.
