Spring Dairy Tours
Join us this for our Spring Dairy Tours from April 1st - May 31st. Our three hour educational tours are available for schools, churches, and other groups. The tours are specifically designed for elementary age children, but are fun for every age! We have expanded on the Country Pumpkins (our Fall Festival) tour and share more information with your group about farm life, cows and crops by using hands-on learning experiences!
This year we are featuring our enclosed 1,900 sq. ft. Spring Tour Barn. It is full of fun and educational stations that will capture your child’s imagination and creatively teach them about farming and farm life. This is a barn like you’ve never seen before!
