Children should have the opportunity to learn that our food (including milk) is produced on a farm and is not just a product of the local grocery store. Our goal is to make sure that your trip to our farm is a good learning experience.  We are proud to share this opportunity with you so you can see your local dairy farm in action.  Thank you for supporting your local farmer!

WHAT WILL YOUR TOUR INCLUDE?
On the Dairy Tour...Your actual tour (about 1-1/2 hours) will be divided into several stages, starting with a hayride (20 min.). You will see the beautiful view of our family farm & crops from the cows in the pasture to baby calves being bottle fed, hand milk our “simulated” cow, and get a first-hand look at the milk parlor (no live cows being milked at this time).   The group will get a better understanding of how milk gets from the cow to the grocery store.  Everyone will sample our delicious creamery made ice cream.   We will gladly work with the group to customize the tour to the appropriate age level.  (Teachers, ask about our educational CD we offer w/ the tours)

WHEN ARE TOURS?  
Tour days are Monday – Friday @ 10:00 a.m.  (March – mid November).  Special requests please ask. Our tours are educational-based and lots of fun for all age levels.   Just tell us your needs & expectations and we can alter to accommodate. (NO WEEKEND TOURS)  You must make reservations by calling Vicky @ 336-674-8598 or email Vicky (see above).

 Farm Policies & Safety

• Foot-and Mouth disease (FMD):  In an effort to keep our farm and livestock safe and to prevent any possibility of introduction of FMD to our farm, we ask that anyone wanting to visit our farm who has been out of the country (travelled overseas) within the past 30 days to refrain from visiting our farm.  FMD is a highly contagious disease to cloven hoofed animals (including cows).  Humans are not infected by this FMD but animals are highly affected.  Should you have any questions please feel free to contact us for more information.  Thank you for helping keep our farm secure.
• This is a working farm and you will see farm equipment here and there. We ask you to please do not climb on any farm equipment or fences. You will want to be careful around all machinery, and stay back from moving wagons and tractors.
• Because there is a fire risk, we ask that you please do not smoke anywhere on the farm.
• Wildlife is common on and around the farm.  Please do not disturb bunnies, deer, birds, or any wildlife on the farm.

Things you should not bring to the farm
