We have started scheduling our 2017 season including our annual events.
We will be open both Saturday and Sunday for the 2017 season.
Our new stand opened in June of 2016 and was open every Saturday, 11am to 5pm from Fathers’ Day weekend to late fall. We extended our hours for Thanksgiving shopping.
When the stand is open you can hang out on the deck and view the goats, purchase Appleton Creamery cheese and assorted products, and if one of our cheese makers is available, we’ll be selling a “guided cheese plate”, an opportunity to taste and learn about our many cheese varieties.

KID & CALF HUGGING DAY – Our past event
An annual event at Appleton Creamery, and ME Water Buffalo Co, where you can get some hands on time with the young ones. The farm stand will be open. Additional kid & calf hugging days will be added in May and June.
Here are some images from previous kid and calf hugging days.
Goat snuggles are the best.
Nothing beats a kiss from a water buffalo calf.
This could be you!
I’m innocent!
Everyone loves Ginger.
