Young’s Dairy 

Young’s Dairy is based in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and is a very popular fun day out for the whole family!

About Young’s Dairy

The history of Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm begins when the red barn was built in 1869. The 60-acre farm was bought just after the end of WWII, and for around ten years after the purchase of the farm, the family farmed the land. It was in 1958 that the family decided to sell Jersey milk to the public. In the beginning, the equipment and the methods were quite modest, and as time went on, the more recent equipment came in, and methods changed.

Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm has something for everyone. Whether this is visiting the animals, enjoying some sports, or having a meal with drinks, there is something here that will keep everyone entertained all day long. Below are some of the things that you could soon be enjoying at Young’s Jersey Dairy Farm.
