Get a unique behind-the scenes experience of real life on a 21st century dairy farm! We love to welcome people to our farm, and cannot wait to share the wonderful hands-on experience of farm life with you! On our FARM TOUR, we'll lead you through our working dairy farm, where you’ll get the opportunity to milk a cow, feed a calf (calf selfies encouraged!) and learn about innovative technologies used on our farm. Of course, you’ll enjoy a tasty ice cream treat at the end of your tour, too!

Just like our Cows, Beers and Cheese Curds experience, however our beverages* will feature wine that pairs well with a variety of cheeses. Upon the completion of our farm explorations, we’ll enjoy wine and a beautiful charcuterie board, of course highlighting a variety of cheeses and more... with the sunset as our backdrop. So many new opportunities or experiences to be had – milk a cow, give a calf her bottle, help with farm chores by feeding a farm friend (goat, sheep, pig, and pony). Lots of opportunities for photo ops along the way, and playtime with the goats and other animals if you'd like!
