OUR MISSION, as a multigenerational Florida dairy farming family, is to pledge producing superior quality, wholesome, farm fresh dairy products from healthy cows. We are committed to environmentally sustainable practices using state-of-the-art methods and to the promotion of educating the public on dairy farming and the nutritional benefits of "natures perfect food" - MILK!

Our family has been milking cows in Manatee County, Florida since 1973. Cameron, Farren and Jerry Dakin own the three remaining dairy farms in the County, and are amongst the fewer than 150 dairies remaining in Florida.

To endure the challenges within our industry, we have added value to our farm through educational farm fun tours, the construction of a Milk Plant to bottle our own “Farm Fresh” milk and by incorporating “sustainable” farm practices.

Come “support your local farmer” and enjoy a 45 minute, to one hour most informative tour of our dairy. Watch the cows being milked, and follow the milk trail into the Milk Plant where you will see the process of pasteurization and the bottling of our own "Farm Fresh" milk. You may also take a hayride a little deeper into the farm to complete your “farm experience”. It’s a really awesome tour with top shelf tour guides. Visit our ATTRACTIONS page for season dates & times.

Keep visiting our Website for updates on our next product launchings of drinkable yogurt and cheese, made right here at Dakin Dairy Farms.

Spend some time in our Farm Market where gifts & products, such as Honey harvested from local bees, can be found or just relax and enjoy a bowl of ice cream.
