Visitors Center to open again at Mayfield Dairy Farms

Mayfield Dairy Farms has announced that the company's Visitor Center in Braselton, will reopen to the public on Friday, November 9, 2012. The center has been closed since last fall while the company looked for ways to make it more economically viable.

The gift shop and ice cream parlor will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Tours will be offered during this same time.

To schedule a tour, call (888) 298-0396.

Tours offered at the Visitor Center in Braselton and Mayfield's other Visitor Center in Athens, Tennessee, will remain free to the public through the end of the year. Beginning in 2013, tours at either Visitor Center will incur a $3 charge per person and will include a free scoop of Mayfield ice cream. Visiting the gift shop and ice cream parlor will remain free.

"We are thrilled to be able to open the Braselton Visitor Center again," said Mary Williams, Mayfield General Manager. "As we indicated last fall, we were eager to reopen if we could find an economically viable way of doing so. Many guests suggested they would be willing to pay a small fee for the informational tours. In addition, the Town of Braselton has offered its support. We know the Visitor Center has been a great way for our business to connect with our consumers and the general public, and we're excited to bring this attraction back.
