Description

President Palmer and the board began discussions to buy property for a dairy on May 20, 1908. His idea for starting the dairy was "to furnish the school with good wholesome milk and butter at a reasonable cost." By 1913 the Alabama College Dairy was up and running with a herd of fifty cows that supplied the dining hall with seventy-five gallons of milk each day. The dairy operated for fifty years and was well known for its ice cream which the girls were given three times per week. The ice cream was sometimes topped with fruits, chocolate, and caramel to cover the onion flavor when the cows would eat wild onions.
