It was very exciting when we got to feed the
calves, their tongues were very warm and rough!
We were very lucky and got to have a look in the

farm are milked, we also looked at all the
different types of food that the milk was used to
make including yogurt, cheese, and of course Ice

we got to try some, it was very very yummy!!
