Dairy at the Mill at Hanford Mills

Written By The Mountain Eagle on 6/27/25 | 6/27/25

EAST MEREDITH – On Saturday, July 19, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. we will once again be having our Dairy at the Mill event at the Hanford Mills Museum, 51 County Hwy 12, East Meredith. Try a free sample of our homemade vanilla ice cream (while supplies last) churned at our mill and chilled with ice that we cut from the pond at Ice Harvest in January.

Exhibitors will include the Delaware County Dairy Ambassadors, the Dragon Wagon Book Bus, Hartwick College’s Baking Innovation Lab, Brookside Maple and Farm, Union Grove Distillery and Blue Merle Apiaries. The Delsego 4-H Club will bring cows and will be doing milking demonstrations throughout the day.

Purchase food from Helen’s Little Kitchen food truck, or bring a picnic lunch and enjoy music by contemporary folk singer-songwriter Will Walker from Cooperstown. As always, we will be demonstrating the sawmill and gristmill, as well as leading mill tours. Young visitors can enjoy children’s activities in the Learning Lab.

Admission to this event is by donation, so come out and enjoy a fun day of learning about the history of the dairy industry in Delaware County.
