it's called Kreider's Farm and BTW all of their milk is CY even those that are not labeled "Pride of the Farm"

You sure? I few yrs a go someone told me that potf only uses the facilities on certain days and on those days, even Kreiders milk is CV and there’s a way to know by looking at the stamp on the bottle. But I never heard that all kreiders milk is CV

Anyone have a good experience with an Airbnb in the area?

My chavrusa said he spoke to one of the Mashgichim. He said that it would be too complicated to do some runs CY and some not, because they would have to kasher some of the equipment (like pasteurizers) between runs (because of those who are makpid on kielim). So, they just have it CY all the time and only label it POTF when POTF needs it . Otherwise, it's just labeled Kreider's.

This is what I have heard from my own reliable sources as well.

I was on the tour 2 summers ago and this was what the tour guide said as well. They have a mashgiach who stays on the farm.

i was there a year ago on a non CY day. The tour guide said the rabbis only come certain days. Seems the milk on those days is trucked to the CY bottling facility across the road. On regular days it’s trucked to the krieder facility

Not true. It's the only CY farm that never kashers as it's always CY. Even the Chassidish farms such as UDF / Golden Flow give the mashgichim off days and kasher after but Kreiders a mashgiach living on site 24/7/365 who only leaves when another mashgiach comes to relieve him. Call the hechsher + farm and ask.

It may be possible that The Kreiders label is stuck on to milk from other farms so be careful YMMV if its CY, again call the hechsher.

The tour guide is from an outside Company running tours. He may have no clue what he is talking about.

This is true, and the last case is very rare if ever, but almost happened due to the lunch programs. There is only so much milk a cow produces.

I dont think so but have not been there in a while.
IIRC they have a quiet picnic area outside the gates. If you get hungry in the middle of the day get your hand stamped and eat outside or go to the kosher stand.

I believe the kosher stand is closed this year due to covid.

Can anyone please recommend which of the Marriot bonvoy hotels in located Lancaster would be most appropriate for a 2 night stay for a family with 6 children?

We stayed last at Eden Resort and have great memories of rooms service and kiddie water park.
