It’s a Cheesy Week at Young’s

By

For six generations the Young family has been running the dairy farm in Yellow Springs.  This working farm has grown over the years.  In the 60’s they got into the ice cream business, in the 70’s they added the bakery, in the 80’s they built the restaurants, in the 90’s they added entertainment with miniature golf, batting cages and driving range and eight years ago they added cheese making to the line up and this week they celebrate all things cheese!

 

Watch or join the fun run!  ‘The Cheddar Challenge‘ – a 5k trail run starting at 9am on Saturday, June 10th.  They’re expecting up to 1,000 5K runners and walkers!

Young’s Deep Fried Cheddar Cheese Curds on sale at both restaurants during our Cheese Anniversary at $3.49. Regular, Buffalo or Sweet Chili style!

On Saturday & Sunday June 10 & 11 from 10 am to 8 pm get an order of curds from Young’s on the Moove – their new food truck.  Or order a panini-style grilled cheese sandwich and enjoy a 1/2 pint of Young’s Homemade Ice Cream.  Young’s on the Moove will be parked on our Farm Plaza, where you can enjoy watching the goats while tasting an order of deep fried cheddar curds.

Young’s Jersey Dairy Annual Pint Sale Starts Thursday

By

Every spring Young’s Jersey Dairy’s hosts a sale of their fabulous homemade ice cream made right there on the farm. This year’s sale starts Thursday March 24th and runs through MondayMarch 28th.

Young’s ice cream is made from a 15% butterfat mix (pasteurized milk, cream, and sugar mixture) which gives it a very rich  taste. They make their ice cream with machines called batch freezers, which make 5 or 10 gallons of ice cream per batch. Each batch takes about 12-15 minutes to make. They add the flavorings at different stages of the process depending on how we want the ingredients mixed in.

ice-cream-pint-sale-1200x400

The ice cream comes out of the machine at about 23-25 degrees and is immediately put into a specially built walk-in freezer that has a high wind velocity and an average temperature of 30 degrees below zero. Freezing ice cream quickly is one secret of making excellent ice cream. If you allow the ice cream to freeze slowly, large ice crystals will form and a rough texture will result (this is why when you try to freeze homemade ice cream it sometimes doesn’t taste very good the next day).

So pick up a prepacked pint for just $2.09, while supplies last.  They start with several thousand pints of ice cream. This is a once a year sale, so don’t miss out! Stock up on Young’s homemade ice cream!

Flavors that will be ready for pick-up:

Vanilla Strawberry
French Vanilla Lemon Custard
Chocolate Chocolate Fudge Brownie
Mint Chocolate Chip Peaches & Cream
Cookie Dough Black Raspberry
Chocolate P-Nut Butter No Added Sugar Vanilla
P-Nut Butter Cup Orange Sherbet
Cookies & Cream Tiramisu Gelato
Butter Pecan Cappuccino Latte Gelato
Black Walnut Lemon Sorbetto
Cotton Candy Caramel Chocolate Toffee

Young’s 142nd Birthday Celebration means $1.42 Deals!

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

The Original Barn at Young's

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.

The first store built in 1958

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:
