Things to do in the school hols
OurCowMolly replied to Charlottef24's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Your welcome to come and visit our farm, were a working dairy farm (not a show farm or petting zoo) so its free to visit just don't expect lions and tigers :-) We have 85 cows and newborn calves, the cows come in to be milked at about 4pm, children usally enjoy that ! http://www.ourcowmolly.co.uk S6 6GW hill top Rd Bus 61 or 62 run to the farm every hour. WERE OPEN EVERY DAY WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE ON HOLIDAY. -
I beleve Margerate Tatcher invented Mr Whippy, or at least the idea of whipping as much air in ice cream as possible to increase the profit on it. Our ice cream is approx 10% air 90% ice cream (made from up to 80% milk & cream. where as whippy can be up to 70% air / 30% ice cream (I dont suspect there's any fresh milk or cream in that :-) ) Im glad our competition isn't any stiffer than Mr Whippy :-)

Were overwhelmed with the amount of folks that have come and supported our Open Farm Sunday event, still 3 and a half hours left of it ! Don't wimp out because of a bit of rain come and see what we do as farmers day to day. Even go on a real tractor if you fancy !
-
Don't forget farmers work outside in all weathers, Open Farm Sunday is all about seeing what goes on at a working farm, if that means getting rained on in a field of cows then you got a pretty good experience of farming :-) There is shelter in the newborn calf enclosure, milking parlour, ice cream parlour and the porch. Or you could have a go on the tractor to keep dry !
-
Come tomorrow (Sunday) for our Open Farm Sunday event. There will be lots of lemon & ginger ice cream about :-)
-
We have planned a special Open Farm Sunday walk for tomorrow, pick up a map from the farm. May a surgest food from the BBQ then the walk and an ice cream for afters ? We are also letting folks drive our tractor for tomorrow's event, if you've ever fancied a go on one.

Our Cow Molly's Bakewell Pud Flavour ice cream
OurCowMolly replied to shanes teeth's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
We have spent 60 years building a reputation for producing quality milk and cream, it's because the milk and creams good that the ice cream is. If we were to use milk from other farms 1) we would be prosecuted by trading standards because it clearly says on the packaging its exclusively our milk & cream 2) the ice cream wouldn't taste as good. We have 85 cows and currently 2 of those cows produce more than enough milk to make our ice cream so there's plenty of scope to make more if we wanted to. Your right on the "Local" point though Sheffield city council don't have a definition for what it is, I personally have been pushing then to define it but keep being told the Trades Discriptions officers will only act if enough people complain, so please tell them you would like a definition to stop everyone claiming their stuffs Local ! We put "Made in Sheffield" on our tubs so it's nice and clear. I will ask Bradwells if they outsorce their ice cream to Scotland and Ireland, I was under the impression they made 6000 liters a day in their factory in the hope valley. -

We don't supply the supermarkets, we were asked to but we believe in quality not quality. Mass produced is not our thing. Besides you wouldn't get to see the cows there ! -

We have insulated boxes we can scoop into, so you can have any of the Deluxe range in the scooping cabinet to take home including sorbets. We don't have it in branded tubs because there's 16 flavours in the deluxe range and we don't have room to display another 16. Having said that I'm sure we could make some litres of Bakewell Tart as there's clearly demand for it. Just bear with us though were already starting at 4am to keep up the stock, so it will be done next week :-)
