Van Ommering Dairy, one of my 'go to' dairy farms here in San Diego

Meet Ben and Jerry, two calves from our local Dairy Farm, owned by the Van Ommering family.
This is the farm where I first fell for cows, on a trip with my daughter's kindergarten class to see where
milk comes from and visit their yearly event not to be missed, Oma's Pumpkin Patch .
Not only do they have a yearly pumpkin patch, with a hay maze and cotton seed mountain, petting zoo,
but local San Diego county kids can have a farm birthday party.

I owe a lot to the Van Ommering family for putting up with my many visits to take reference for paintings.
Here's Dave Van Ommering taking time from his busy schedule to help me corral a few of the girls together for a special reference photo I needed to get.  Thanks again Dave!
