Fair Oaks Farms is recognized as the number one agri-tourism destination in the Midwest!
Yes, it's a working farm, but with innovative attractions to help you better understand how your food goes from farm to table.
"We have our experiential museums, we have our farm tours and then we have all of our different hospitality vendors from two different restaurants to a hotel to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch," Jacqueline McClosky, Fair Oaks Farm special projects manager, said. "You're gonna be able to see where the cows live, where they eat, where they spend most of their time; you'll also be going and seeing them on the rotary which is where they get milked three times a day," McCloskey said."We started putting digesters in our farms and we can eventually trade the gas that you collect in the digester, clean it up into 99% methane and we run all of our milk to market off of our cows' manure," McCloskey said.
"Here on our farms we have 80 to 100 calves born a day, but we do bring some cows over here so people can experience that miracle of birth at our birthing barn," McCloskey said. "You can sit down and your kids can really experience something cool that they've never seen before!"This is the Dairy Adventure building; this building is a museum that is dedicated only to dairy farming," Matt Rudy, Fair Oaks Farms enrichment programs manager, said.
