Udders & Pudders

The red barn was built in 1869 by relatives of the Young Family in Yellow Springs.

Shortly after World War II Hap Young bought the 60 acre farm and he and his three sons Carl, Bob, and Bill, farmed the 60 acres, plus up to 500 additional rented acres. They grew grain, raised hogs, and milked cows.

In 1958, the Young Family decided to try to sell our Jersey milk directly to the public.  The customer would drive up, open the refrigerator, get his gallon of milk, leave an empty jug and the money, and drive away.  As this became successful they built their first real dairy store in 1960.  They began dipping ice cream, and slowly added chesese and additional snack foods.  This building is attached to the big red barn and is where they make ice cream still.

They  added onto this building twice over the next 8 years. In 1966 they added a small bakery. By 1968, they were running out of room. It was time to  start over in another building. So they added a building, started the bakery, then came sandwiches, then full meals. And they kept building!

Now Young’s includes Udders & Pudders, an 18 hole miniature golf course, driving range, batting cages, a 2nd restaurant- The Golden Jersey Inn and Barnabe’s Walnut Grove– which serves groups from 50 – 3500 for company functions and family reunion picnics.  Corwin’s Kiddie Corral is the latest addition and features a cow theme bounce-house, little tractors that can be pedaled around a wooden track,  little slides, hay bales, a ‘cow’ to milk and more.  In 2002 The Food Network “discovered” Young’s and fcatured them on a “Best of” episode:
