We bought delicious and fresh whole milk here. If you don't have your own container, you can buy plastic buckets or glass bottles at the cashier, and then go to the vending machine outside to buy milk. There is also a cute cat on the farm.

我们在这里买到了美味新鲜的全脂牛奶,如果没有自带容器可以在收银台购买塑料桶或者玻璃瓶,然后去外面的自动贩卖机投币购买牛奶。农场里还有一只可爱的猫。


Very neat little dairy farm! The staff are so nice and the kids loved interacting with the animals. Will come back again when we're in the area.


Lovely little farm shop. Calves were cute and the milk was also nice but didn't realise the dense-Ness of the milk but it was nice


I’d highly recommend coming here on a self-guided tour, especially if you have little ones. Our kids enjoyed learning more about the dairy farm, seeing cows and calves, and watching the animals. The store is great
and we loved the cheese we bought there. There is also a small playground and picnic area. Very family friendly!


Good (and free) place for the family to visit a working farm

When you visit, you are able to walk around the farm and pet a couple different animals (rabbits and sheep for example) while also being able to see the actual operations of a dairy farm. You can see the whole process, including the more modern elements such as the robotic milking machine and even a giant Roomba-like machine that pushes the feed forward for the cows. If the cheese making happens during your visit, you can watch from outside the glass.

There is a machine that dispenses milk which is fresh from the farm. Bring your own container or use one of their small disposable drink cups. Make sure to bring some coins for the machine. It is setup so if you just want a small amount (the disposable drink cups) it is very affordable (I believe it was a dime). The milk has a higher fat content (just over 4% when we visited), so very different from what you get in the store.

The gift shop is small, and contains some farm related toys for the children. Cheese and locally made products are also sold there and the bigger attraction. It was a very popular stop for people, and there was a continual flow of people into the gift shop to make purchases.

Overall, I would estimate the visit is about 30 minutes or so. Walking is on flat ground and most things are outdoors. A good free attraction if you’re in the area already for a family, but for those without kids it may not be as appealing beyond the gift shop and a quick stop to see the automation aspect of the modern dairy farm.


We had a great time here. Visit the fully automated dairy cattle raising mode, so amazing! You can also bring your own glass bottles to store milk here. Whole milk is delicious.


Cute little place to stroll around and enjoy the farm in its works! Definitely recommend, about a 30-60 minute activity. Great for families!


If you are looking for a way to enjoy a couple hours its worth the visit. Enjoy a little food as well. Stop by the farm. It's an interesting walk through the place and seeing all the animals. Some bunnies for the kids and there were even a few baby cows that were only a few days old. Don't forget to hit the store and sample some of the cheese so you know which ones to buy. And don't leave without having some ice cream. So tasty!!!


We could not spend much time here since we reached there very close to closing time.
But, its worth a visit!
I got to buy some cheese and .. the best cheese!!
And, the milk dispenser itself feels like worth a visit! The cold, fresh milk - don't miss it!! I suggest carrying your milk carton (if not, you can buy it from there) and get home some of that amazing milk!!

Next time, we plan to go here way before closing to spend more time because the farm felt very pleasant!


Wonderful place. Come see the cows the calves and rabbits. They have a place to sit and eat. A great little store to purchase their cheese. Great selection. This is a must see! Bring the children
