modellmeieri


Explanation:
I got two hits with "modellmeieri" which seem to fit your context. See also ref. which refers to a Norwegian dairy. Though "modellbedrift" does seem to be a more common, albeit general, term.

Asker: The dairy in question is from the Edwardian period in Britain. Thanks for your inputs - I'm still searching for the right term....

Asker: Du er inne på noe, Per, men jeg tror det var i drift. De hadde hester også...

neutral  Per Bergvall: Modellbedrift er en dårlig fornorsking - modell på norsk er ganske ulikt modell på engelsk. En bedre oversettelse er eksempelbedrift (også flere Google-treff), men jeg får meg ikke til å foreslå eksempelmeieri. Kanskje utstillingsmeieri ikke var så galt?

  -> Jeg er enig i at begrepet er ikke helt norsklydende, Per. Men min forståelse av "utsillingsmeieri" er noe annet enn en "model dairy", som er jo en "working dairy", altså den er i drift, noe som "utsillingsmeieri" ikke tilsier. Men kan hende jeg tar feil..

Asker: Ja, du er inne på noe. Har tenkt på "mønstermeieri", men heller ikke det klinger helt bra.
