The Matthews family believes strongly in sharing our agricultural experiences with those who do not live on a family farm.   Therefore in 1986, the Matthews began growing and selling pumpkins during October, opening the farm to the public for hayrides to the pumpkin patch.  We also began our tradition of offering farm tours to school children from ages three to twelve.  In 1996, we extended the tour idea to private groups and families and began hosting birthday parties year-round.  In 1997, we placed the farm in the Chester County Farmland Preservation program, enabling us to continue the family farm heritage.  In response to customer requests, we opened a Hospitality tent during October for food and beverage, and began marketing gifts inscribed with Milky Way Farm logo. In 1998, we launched this website to promote understanding of dairy farming and sharing of Milky Way Farm endeavors with the public.
