Sightseeing
A must! You passed it on the right coming in on CR 2482. Our good friends Ris and Bruce Waldo, and their sons Trenton and Ryan, own the only cow-milking robot in Texas. Go buy some milk that came out of the cow this morning. Also try the yogurt, muffins, butter, honey, etc. It’s all good. Open weekdays 9-3, Saturday 9-noon, and closed Sunday. Tell them we sent you.
