Calder Dairy and Farm Reviews

We had a blast. So many animals to see and the ice cream is delicious!!

A little out of the way, and over some dirt roads. The dairy products are so wonderful! I m glad my partner and I decided to stop to get some chocolate milk and ice cream!

Be careful when driving up the Drive way a lot of mud

We love going to calder s the ice cream is good and my girls love seeing all the animals and feeding the goats!

Great service and lots of flavor choices. Love seeing all the animals.

I love the chocolate milk here I mix half chocolate and half natural. It always makes me sad when I run out and my tears freely flow tremulous and tender to the earth. Alas I shall seek it once again.

Granddaughters field trip fun and Delicious icecream butter and fudge

I have been there before with my mother and we love this place and I'm going to bring my grandchildren soon so they can see what farm life is like.

I love it! Friendly ducks, goats, sheep, cows and cats that love to be petted! The birds are free range and loved by all visitors! The cows get cleaned and milked twice a day right in front of you, and they have fresh ice cream that is AMAZING!!!! I come all the way from Detroit for the experience!

Fun little working farm with excellent ice cream and chocolate milk.

Wonderful place for kids and family. No admission fee for walk ins.

I've loved calders for a long time! Going tomorrow to get some rice pudding!

Very educational for the children I love taking them out there for the animals and we'll be going back out there very soon before winter hits the ground I go there four times a year

Great place for families and people in general very nice people who work there will definitely go again and the animals are amazing to see

Great place for families. Best dairy farm in Michigan!

Really nice place to hang out and eat delicious ice cream.

Best chocolate Milk on the planet..Keep up good work

Good ice cream, but it's smells the worse of all farm I have been to

GO local! Support these type of facilties. Great dairy supplies, and all around nice place to stop.

Been going gere since i was a kid and still stop in every once and awhile for the chocolate milk.

Very friendly amd natural place to take your family

Wonderful place to bring the family. Go see how practical it is to raise farm animals humanely! Amazing dairy products for sale.

Love seeing all the animals some more stinky than others :) nice gift shop.. Milk in glass jugs the best!!

Grandkids love the animals and always ended with a scoop of ice cream recommended for families

Wonderful Farm. Great place for kids to learn. Great ice cream and milk.

Nice place to take the kids to feed the animals and get some ice cream

Great day out to be able to show my kid around a working farm and grab an ice cream on the way out!

Wonderful place to take the kids, lots of farm animals, and a working farm experience for the milk cows. Their chocolate milk is the best on the planet, in their ice cream is by and large excellent

We had a blast with the kids here. Walk around their open barns to interact with cows, pigs, goats, sheep and a plethora of birds. There is a picnic area where you can eat your ice cream from the little country store. There were other families there but not an overwhelming number. We felt like we were safely able to socially distance.

My son loves feeding the animals! This is a very peaceful place

Amazing! Love the animals and chocolate milk was so good.

I came here as a child and I love that I can bring my children. The ice cream is the best. It's always a great time.

Delicious ice cream, chocolate milk and many organic natural products.

I brought my granddaughter,first time seeing animals,she loved it,they were milking the cows and one turned around and looked at her directly in the face,she smiled and laughed till he licked her,so funny !!!,she didnt know what to think,and we enjoyed the ice cream before we left,will be back hopefully this month

This farm has many animals that you could look at and touch. It's an experience for children.

Had a blast at calder's Dairy Farm. Went with the kids and there school on a field trip great place to visit. My children loved it!!

Nice place. We go often because they are close by and their ice cream is the best.

Great ice cream and dairy products. I recommend the non homogenized milk for people who are dairy snobs.

I love coming here.
Feeding the goats is fun with the feed for a minimum amount of $2.50 per bag.
I like to sing: (from Mary Poppins)
"Feed the goats,
2 fifty a bag.
2 fifty, 2 fifty, 2 fifty a bag"
Nature preserve for ducks.
Working farm too!
Farm ice cream, farm milk from their own cows.
Many animals to see and have fun watching them.
Family friendly.
Smoking is an issue around these animals.
I wish it was enforced to have zero smoking.
I've seen the ducks and geese get upset over it.

Top 5 ice creams I've ever had! Great fun with the animals too

We love coming here and seeing the animals (up close and personal!) and you cannot beat Calder Dairy butter, milk, ice cream...it's all delicious! We got some vanilla donuts and OH MY...so good! Definitely worth the drive and makes for a nice day out.

This place is very upsetting and trashy the animals pens are disgusting the conditions the animals are living in is sad to see one of the goats had such a bad eye infection he couldn t even see I will not be coming back to this place it s filthy hopefully the pens get cleaned up and the animals are better taken care of.

Great fresh dairy and plenty of live animals to check on while you eat great ice cream.

Love their cottage cheese and all their products! Love the cows

Always a great time! Best chocolate milk in the world! Kids love all of the animals and seeing the milking station.

little kids will really enjoy seeing all the young animals and milking a cow. feeding the geese might even be a little scary fun.

Delicious ice cream! A fun place to come get local ice cream and wander around the farm to see lots of different animals

Animals their for your kids to interact with and great ice cream.

Excellent ice cream, butter and milk, family friendly environment with plenty for the kids to do.

Great place to take kids and ice cream is outstanding!

Love taking my little one here to see all the animals. Great milk and ice cream

Always a fun time. I also found they carry michigan local organic soaps, lotions/salve & *shampoo*

We saw geese, lots of cows. I saw a baby cow. We saw cats.

Grew up going to this farm, still love it just as much as I did when I was a kid, ALL of the animals are so sweet, and loved by their owner. Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. Great experience, I definitely recommend checking this little spot out!

The best ice cream and milk. I feel bless to live close enough to treat myself to either milk or ice cream went I want too.

Great place for the kids and ice cream for all to enjoy.

Excellent example of a working dairy farm. Very kid friendly.

Nice for young children to be able to go and see a farm with alot of animals

Great fun for the kids and awesome homemade Ice Cream!!

The tour guides were very patient and accommodating when me and my team took our 100+ third graders here on a field trip. There is a lot to see and do and it was enjoyable even in the rain. We were able to feed a baby calf, take a tractor ride, milk a cow, feed geese, feed ducks, and feed goats. We got fresh ice cream, too! But most importantly, we got an experience that most kids don't get when they don't live in that area - and we were reminded by observation how animals should get treated and cared for. You can tell when you go there the farm hands and employees want to keep their animals healthy. We will talk about this trip fondly for a long time. Thank you!
