June is National Dairy Month – a time to
celebrate America’s great bounty of dairy products, the important role these
products play in our diet and the dairy farmers who help bring them to our
table. From June 17-21, Sauder Village will host "Dairy Days" to help
celebrate this national event. Through special demonstrations and hands-on
activities, guests will have an opportunity to better understand the role
dairy plays in their lives today and in the lives of the early pioneers.
Activities will vary from day-to-day. Some
of the special dairy demonstrations planned for the week-long celebration
include making buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk pie, bread pudding and
schmearcase, which is like cottage cheese. Costumed guides will be making
buttermilk salad, cheese pie, ice cream and homemade cheese. Guests will be
able to try their hand at making butter, rolling out homemade biscuits, and
hand-cranking the ice cream. There will also be historic recipes for guests
to pick up and try at home.
And a visit to the Village would not be complete without a
dairy treat from the old-time Ice Cream Parlor in the Historic Village. Be
sure to stop by for a single or double dip cone or a tasty sundae all
featuring Homestead Ice Cream – made locally in Archbold, Ohio!
