At Silver Springs Eric, the owner, is our master dairy artisan. Everyday he wakes at the crack of dawn to make his creations. He hand crafts gourmet ice creams, artisanal cheeses, cream-top yogurts with fresh goat and/or cow milk.
There are no hormones given to our herd, and our pastures are never sprayed with chemicals. Everything is grown as Mother Nature intended and this results in a much sweeter cream.
Taste the difference!
You are able to view our beautiful cheese cellar through a window at the farm. You may also view the production process while Eric is working.
