Calder Dairy and Farm Reviews

Best place to go and get there milk ,butter egg nog eggs love this place

Great ice cream, always fun to see the animals. Chocolate milk and butter are a must

Cool spot . Best chocolate milk on the earth I think

I love this place. Seeing all the farm animals. A great place for families. The best, fresh dairy products. Ice Cream is fantastic.

Awesome place for kids, and adults who loves animals, "free parking", "free get in". There's a good size parking lot, they also have a little shop. Their ice cream is THE BEST I EVER HAD. ( I actually came back the next day to get more "red velvet ice cream"). We went here for my son's friend's birthday party. Boys and girls had so much fun running around , playing and feeding animals. It is a wonderful quiet place to take the kids to see some real farm animals. There is a little barnyard smell but the farm itself is very clean.

It's a cool experience. A very cheap day of fun for the family. The only money you spend is, if you choose to feed the animals, or buy something from their cute little store. We come a few times a year. Definitely recommend going, if you haven't!

I get butter,ice cream and milk here. Been going here for over 30 years. It was looking pretty sad a few years ago but, they have really cleaned it up. It looks great now

Had a great time visiting. We thought their Chocolate Milk tastes better than Guernsey's

Its a working farm, but they have a stire that sells their products, they also have ice cream there, which is amazing

Great ice cream. The geese are food stalkers. Lol. Get a bag of food for them at the store and feed them

Breast working dairy farm with a store and tours. Fresh wonderful homemade Ice cream.

It's just a nice place for the kids to get in touch with nature and get away from screens

Visted this dairy farm as a part of my childs field trip from the school. A perfect place for kids to watch common animals upclose, feed them, understand how milking is done, enjoy a tractor ride and walk along with ducks, swans and peacocks. Staff make sure vistors are safe during entire tour, educate kids on dairy farming , answer questions patiently. Its a nice place to take your young ones. Entry fee was $10 per person that also included a fresh ice cream.

We have been taking our children and grandchildren here for years. It is free and I believe open 365 days a year. The cows are milked twice a day and the barns are always open for viewing. There are cows, goats, ducks and geese, horses and donkeys and bunneys. There is also a store where you can purchase Calder dairy products, candy and other novelties.

AMAZING!! Can't wait to go back, and looking forward to doing a group tour!!

Great farm! You are able to pet and feed the animals.

Fun for the children and the adults. Definitely recommend getting some of the delicious ice cream while you're there. And don't forget to take home some of the best chocolate milk!

Always enjoy going and getting our milk. Great and nice employees

Great experience. Beautiful farm with well cared for animals. Ice cream is the best in the state. Had the butter pecan this time. I will be back soon.

Food is great there along with the animals a bit of a smell but that's to be expected but great place !!!!

Seems like there could of been more to do with the space they have.

Cool experience. Baby and I got chased by Turkey's and I kinda don't feel like their good to the animals

Calder's products are delicious and a favorite bin my home. Chocolate milk Excellent and Rich, ice cream Yummy!!

Calder's Dairy and Nature Farm is a great place for families and children. You can hand feed geese and ducks, and the products are high quality. There are several natural grocers such as Plum Market in Ann Arbor that sell Calder's Products due to the quality of product. Highly recommended to visit the farm if you are ever in the area.

This place it's so cool for kids. Lots of animals and stuff to see. If you've never had their chocolate milk it's the best on the planet. If you have, you know what I'm talking about. CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!!

Had a wonderful time on field trip with my 5yr old greatgrand son Elijah from his school.

Kids love visiting the animals and great ice cream.

What's not to love about these guys? Fantastic dairy at a good price. I mean, if there is a negative to be found, the farm smells like a farm?

Best place for kids! My 2 year old loves it. There are so many animals and you can feed most of them. The ice cream is the best any where. You can even get fresh milk and cheese. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! We absolutely love it here.

Very nice place to take the kids plus their ice cream is delicious we will definitely be returning

Always the best ice cream! The animals are fun to watch.

The staff here are so nice!!! The ice cream was delicious! We had a great time.

I come there every year with my kids. Don't really like the ice cream and wish there were more animals to see but my kids really enjoy coming every time.

Great ice cream many flavors to chose and if cant decide they have half gallons to bring home!

Love to visit the calf nursery with my granddaughter.

Great place to take the family!!! Awesome ice cream too!!!!

Very cute working farm. I go here for milk and the BEST eggnog ever! My 2 year old son loves seeing the animals. Free entrainment for him and great dairy products.

Delicious ice cream! My kids loved all the animals and were very interested in the milking process and in feeding the goats with the conveyor belt. You can purchase goat food and goose food for $2.50 a bag. They thought the peacock was great, too!

Very good ice cream.
I still have not figured out the best way to cut their eggnog in a non-alcoholic way.

Went to the carlton location just a run down disappointment things not painted stuff not clean in side the store was nasty one girl working the ice cream the other standing looking at the stars I know they don't charge but keep it up iveI been to others and the take pride in there farm

Awesome place. Good place for a family experience. Best ice cream and milk in michigan

Calder Dairy and Farm is a real farm with a real dairy right here in Metro Detroit! They make their own own ice cream, yogurt and butter that you can buy from the farm or either outlet store. It's real ice cream made by people who love ice cream for people who love ice cream. Their chocolate milk is the best you'll ever try. You owe it to yourself to try both! Visit the farm at their Monroe location because it has a free petting zoo! The employees are great and the atmosphere top notch! You gotta go!

Isabella and Witten had a good time feeding the animals and all the baby animals. The ice cream is the best

Great stuff , great place, great people. Take the kids, they'll love it. Maybe a little expensive, though.

Always such a great time. Free admission $2.50 per lunch bag of goat or pond food. $2.99 for single scoop cone. Can't beat it. Kids love it. Farm staff always friendly. Great family place!! And fresh delicious ice cream!!

One of my favorite places to take my girl's, so much to do very little cost absolutely love the place

Very fun and lots of different animals. They have a Clydesdale horse that's huge.

Took the kids and our nieces that were visiting from California. They had never been on a working farm before. Was a great experience seeing all of the animals! I love that a lot are free range just walking around the cars or wherever they feel like going! The peacocks are beautiful and the ducks are so playful and ready for you to feed them a snack! The store had products made on the farm. Fresh milk, ice cream, but the chip dip is the best! A great way to spend the afternoon hanging out with the animals and end it with a snack that the animals themselves provided for you!

This is a great farm experience. Active dairy farm. You can watch the milking process. Lots of farm animals too! It also smells like a real farm. Explore the farm, pet the animals, and then eat ice cream made on site. Great trip.

Awesome fresh milk and I got to feed a baby calf and milk a cow.

very smelly. very good icecream and super cute ducks though

I have always loved Calder's. My family has been going there since it had only a small store. Great ice cream & the only egg nog I have ever liked.

I had a field trip here back in 2009. I remember when we went in the cow pregnancy room, and there was a cow ready to be milked. The tour guide asked if anyone wanted to milk it, and nobody did until I stepped up. In the photo, if you look closley, you can see the stream of milk from the utter. One of my BEST farm experiences, and haven't refrained from coming back here atleast five times a year. Another experience was feeding a baby cow from a giant bottle. I have the picture from that, too. My mom always wondered who was happier; the calf or me. :) PLEASE go visit this place, don't let the negitive comments get to you. Never a dull moment here, and probably will never be one.

Love taking the grandchildren here. They have so much fun with the animals and can't wait for the best ice cream.

Nice small farm where the kids can see animals up close. Small store to buy ice cream, milk and more.

Good place for kids and adults to get acquainted with farm animals. Good also to have a little ice cream snack and to buy dairy products right from the farm.

Fun place to take the kids and the ice cream is fantastic!

Lots of farm critters to see, pet, feed and enjoy. Fresh dairy products available. Great ice cream, but pricey. Nice setting but not much concrete. Lots of mud after rain. Be prepared to walk a bit.

Fun place, the kids enjoyed the animals. This is a working farm, you will get poo on your shoes

Grounding to see farm life from the field to live cow milking to the dairy products for sale on the spot. Various animals, like a trip to a zoo. Plan on visiting again and supporting Calder Dairy and Farm.

It's a local dairy farm that provides top notch dairy products to our local communities. The ice cream is awesome.

Great cider warm fresh donuts. Great honey suckers. Very good apple butter

It's a pretty neat place to visit. It is a farm... It smells (what do you expect?) You can see the cows, goats, pigs, geese, peacocks. The store on site you can but the best chocolate milk ever. They also have regular milk and strawberry. There is ice cream and butter. They even sell milkshakes, malts, ice cream in cups and cones. Worth checking out if your into that sort of thing or just want to swing by for some homemade ice cream, shakes, or Malts...

Great old time feel kinda of place, great for kids and old people

Perfectly Carleton MI. Small town farm with some of the best homemade ice cream. The farm animals and kitty are the friendliest around. Very sweet young adults working on the farm. A go to place for the littles.

This is such an awesome place to take the kids and have fun! This is the only place I buy our dairy products.

Worst customer service I ve had in a long time. I tried to set up delivery, and was treated like my business was a massive inconvenience to them. I understand being put on a waitlist this year. But being told I would have to be home when the driver got there during a week day. They would talk to the driver and call me back in an hour about what time. Two days later I called them back to find out what was going on. They kept saying they would talk to the driver, but no communication ever seemed to take place between anyone who works there. I called before my delivery was supposed to happen, because I had to go to work and things needed to be clarified. The day after I was supposed to get delivery they called me back and said they didn t know who I talked to, and wanting me to pay when I never actually got anything delivered. I will be telling everyone I know what an unprofessional mess my experience with this company was. So much for trying to support local.

Good ice cream and candy section . Love seeing all the farm animals

I love Calder, my children love to visit the farm. Some of the reviews I read are out right lies. It sucks seeing such a great place be bad mouthed. I have gotten into the habit of seeing all the places Google users may have reviewed, and if they are all negative reviews I don't trust them.

Love all the animals especially baby cows
Cute little shop with good ice cream!
