  •   The whole experience was brilliant from start to finish. Jon was extremely friendly and very professional throughout the whole experience. I thought it was just an opportunity to milk cows but Jon was influential in the way that he taught us about the whole experience....More

  •   I stopped by to buy some of their ice cream, and it was simply the best I've ever had. The mint flavour in particular was gorgeous. I only regret not buying more!
