June is National Dairy Month - a time to celebrate America's great bounty of dairy products, the important role these products play in our diet and the dairy farmers who help bring them to our table. Through special demonstrations and hands-on activities, guests will have an opportunity to better understand the role dairy plays in their lives today and in the lives of the early pioneers.

Activities will vary from day-to-day. Some of the special dairy demonstrations planned for the week-long celebration include making buttermilk biscuits, buttermilk pie, bread pudding and schmearcase, which is like cottage cheese. Costumed guides will be making buttermilk salad, cheese pie, ice cream and homemade cheese. Guests will be able to try their hand at making butter, rolling out homemade biscuits, and hand-cranking the ice cream. There will also be historic recipes for guests to pick up and try at home.

And a visit to the Village would not be complete without a dairy treat from the old-time Ice Cream Parlor in the Historic Village. Be sure to stop by for a single or double dip cone or a tasty sundae all featuring Homestead Ice Cream - made locally in Archbold, Ohio!

Event takes place at Historic Sauder Village - Ohio's largest living history village with costumed interpreters, working craftsmen and lots of hands-on activities for all ages!
