Do Cows Love Ice Cream?

Description

Baby cows love their milk, but what about ice cream? Find out on this farm-to-kitchen adventure!

Starting at the barn, you'll meet our resident dairy cows, help the farmer serve up their dinner, and get a milking demonstration as you learn about everything that goes into keeping these animals healthy and happy. Then, head to the kitchen to make ice cream from scratch, whipping up a rich custard and churning it with ice until it's ready to eat. Along the way, trace the journey from barn to bowl and enjoy every delicious spoonful of the dessert you made yourself.
