Homeland Creamery
In June the men of Mercer home in Sanford were fortunate to be able to tour a local dairy farm. Located in Julian North Carolina, Homeland Creamery produces fresh local whole milk, ice cream, buttermilk, chocolate milk, eggnog, and butter. The creamery has been producing these fine products for six generations since the 1930’s and has grown from a half dozen to over 200 cows now. The men were able to sample some of the products, see the milking process in action, watch as the baby cows were being fed, and hand milk the “simulated” cow. WOW, what a great experience!!
