However, his is the first sight I saw as I stepped off of the bus. How beautiful the snow covered rolling hills looked. This is exactly what I thought Switzerland would look like.
Cheese, butter, and cheese related items for the kitchen filled the first floor of the building.
Plate glass windows surrounded the areas where cheese was being made and housed.
We had the opportunity to visit a nearby farm, this farm was so close we walked there from the cheese house.
The owner of the farm is on the left. He did not speak English, so our bus driver translated. |
Here are a few sights from around the farm.
Our group is about to enter the barn to see the cows. |
Cows waiting their turn to be milked. |
The tails of the cows were tied up so they wouldn't get in the way during milking. |
We have dairies all round this area of CT and I never knew that either!!! Lovely pix...:)JP
ReplyDeleteWow how amazing does that look. How beautiful does it look especially with a blanket of snow?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and serene, and I loved the glimpse of the dairy farm; thanks so much for sharing your photos Paulette.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Wisconsin and love the idyllic snow scenes and your photos, and that each farmer has only 20 cows so they get great care. I like that kind of cheese, perfect in fondue, hey I am from Wisconsin so of course I appreciate cheese and farms.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful scenery and how wonderful to see small scale farming.
