Happy Easter!

Hello Dear Bloggers,

Happy Easter from Picket Fence Creamery!

Hello! This is just a note to give you an update on the happenings on the farm and about our specials for your Easter weekend dining!

We've had nine calves so far this spring, five heifers (female), and four bull calves. They're located in their huts just south of our building, so don't hesitiate to bring the kids to see the newest additions to Burkhart Dairy! We also have some yearling calves in the barn that you are welcome to visit, along with three pigs. We don't have any kittens yet, but I don't think it will be long!

For your Easter dinner.....

SUPER DEAL! 12 oz. whipping cream - only $1
Farm fresh eggs - $2.25/dozen, or 2 dozen for $4

Other new flavors: chocolate cookies 'n' cream, Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint, and Girl Scout Cookie chocolate caramel Samoa. YUM!

And announcing....yet another variety of chocolate milk.....SWISS CHOCOLATE. So far, our customers agree that this is by far our best effort. So don't forget to take home a jug of "the best chocolate milk this side of the Milky Way!"

We have a good selection of beef, pork, elk, buffalo, lamb, chicken and duck. Also enjoy browsing our line of certified organic foods, and also the natural foods with no preservatives from 80 Iowa families: jam, salsa, Kalona noodles, canned meats, fresh baked goods, popcorn, snack mixes, candies, etc., and a nice selection of IOWA WINES.

New: Picket Fence Creamery All-Purpose Sauce: great for steaks, chops, dipping, etc.
