Our favorite part of the Dakin Dairy experience was the personalized tour of the Dairy, given by Courtney Dakin. She is extremely knowledgeable about the dairy and it’s processes. Courtney is a lovely girl and made us feel right at home. The food at the cafe was fantastic and is definitely worth the time to visit. I would highly recommend taking a trip out there!

Getting out on an old Florida Ranch. From seeing the different pigs cattle and horses was a real treat. We were welcomed to the Ranch by Motzart the dog and Autilla our guide made sure we were comfortable riding the ATVs. As we gained confidence we increased speed and it was a great time. Just don't go to the mouse trap like all the lemmings do something different go for an ATV ride!. They also have horse back riding to enjoy!
