To ensure the quality of the products, owner Anthony W. Ackerman put into place a few important factors. A veterinarian was on duty at all times, the milking machinery was state of the art stainless steel, and only the highest quality of hay was given to the cows.[3]
The roof has a hay hood at each end.
The Barn at the Ackerhurst Dairy Farm edit
In 2015, the barn on the Ackerhurst property was sold and converted into a small event venue. The first phase of a renovation was completed in 2016 after which small events were held. More extensive renovations were completed in 2017.[4] As of 2021, the venue hosts events such as weddings, receptions, corporate meetings, and charity fundraisers. It seats up to 400 people.[5]
