Dairy Tours
Visiting our dairy
Come join us for a tour of our family farm! You will be able to see first-hand how our milk is produced, learn about the importance of local agriculture, and get a glimpse into a day in the life of a dairy farmer. There is sure to be excitement for all ages!
Schedule
The tour begins at 9:00 am, but we recommend you be there 10 – 15 minutes before the start of the tour. We will start at our bottling plant where you will meet our plant manager, Andrew. Unfortunately, due to food safety regulations we can’t walk through all parts of the plants; however, you will be able to see important areas of our plant including the tank bay, processing room and our bottle filler!
After the plant tour, everyone will load up in their own cars and take a short 10-15 minute drive to our dairy to begin the second part of the tour. We will arrive between 10:30 – 11:00 am. At our dairy you will see all different processes, from how our cows are fed to how our calves are born. You will also get the chance to see how the cows are milked and where they live. The dairy tour will wrap up around 12:30 pm, depending on how many questions you have during it.
To finish the tour, we will head back to the plant where you can buy our farm fresh milk!
