🇨🇦 Fresh Milk Straight from the Farm! 🐄🍼
Just had the most wholesome experience at this hidden gem near Toronto—Little Brown Cow in Brantford (~1.5hrs drive). This charming farm offers a farm store + DIY milk station + mini petting zoo—perfect for a countryside escape! 🥛 The Star of the Show: Hand-Pumped Milk! Grab a 4L reusable plastic pail (2)ora∗∗1Lglassbottle∗∗(3) at the entrance. Head to the self-serve milk station—it’s fresh, creamy, and straight from the cows! Milk fat content varies daily (posted on a board). Mine was 5.75% butterfat—so rich it coats your tongue! (2/Lor8 for 4L + 2forthepail=10 total). Pro tip: Don’t overfill past the line, or you’ll pay a 25¢ "oops fee"! Most families leave with 5-6 pails—it’s THAT good. I couldn’t resist sipping some in the car! Their chocolate milk is also divine—so thick you could dilute it with regular milk and still taste the richness. 🍫 🛒 Farm Store Treasures Stocked with local, artisanal goodness: Fresh veggies 🥕 Farm-raised meats 🥩 Cheeses, jams, honey 🧀🍯 Frozen ready-to-bake meals (homemade lasagnas, pies, etc.—just pop in the oven!) 🐮 Meet the Cows! After shopping, the staff invited us to visit their pasture. Sadly, rain kept most cows indoors, but we spotted a few playful calves—living their best "I don’t work here" lives. 😂 🌿 Final Verdict A must-visit for: ✅ Road-trippers craving farm-fresh vibes ✅ Families/kids (petting zoo + milk fun!) ✅ Foodies obsessed with real, unprocessed dairy #TorontoDayTrips #TorontoLife #OntarioFarms #FreshMilk #CanadianDairy #LocalEats #FarmToTable #CountrysideVibes #FoodieAdventure
