Blackberry Farm Purveyors Appreciation Dinner





Merry Christmas

Joshua getting into the Egg Nog Ice Cream. Uh-oh!

My favorite Holiday Flavor is Peppermint Chip: Peppermint Ice Cream with crushed peppermint candies and chocolate chips.

8 Maids a Milking!

Summer Shelton invited us to the Tennessee Virtual Academy's Gingerbread House Competition!  We had fun serving mini cones of Peppermint Chip and milk shots!

Our Final Market for 2011 was on December 17. We are planning and looking forward for the first market of 2012 which will be the last Saturday of April which is the "Sneak Peek of the Market!"

Ayaka served up free mini cones for the Holiday Market- Peppermint Chip and Egg Nog!

..and even though, we had a very chilly market, we LOVED eating ice cream.

We were happy to have our Cousin Ida's help at the Holiday Market.  She was a fun Cruze Farm Girl addition.  She served up Hot Chocolate. Many said it was the best they ever tasted. :)  Want to make it? It's simple!
Heat Cruze Farm Chocolate Milk and top with Real whipped cream. oolala.

Our final work day together before Christmas, the gals-Amber, Katie, Jill and Mika- ate ice cream and packed ice cream for their friends and family.

One of our sweetest milk drinkers, Robby.  He is a light milk drinker and Three Rivers Market Shopper! 


We were happy to have Amber back at the farm over Christmas!  She helped us finish work at the dairy sooner than we would have. So, Ayaka and I got a longer Christmas Vacation!


Hope Santa was good to you.
He was very good to us, but we did leave very fresh milk and an egg nog ice cream sandwich.
