A Day at Fair Oaks Farms: it’s not just for kids

Spend a day at Fair Oaks Farms, an agritourism destination in Indiana that has been explaining the process of raising pigs, dairy cows, and crops through "adventures” since 2004.

This piece is part of a series of articles submitted to The Local Tourist through a cooperation with a 400-level travel writing class at  Purdue University .

By Cheyenne Dunn

Located between Indianapolis and Chicago, Fair Oaks Farms is an agritourism destination that has been explaining the process of raising pigs, dairy cows, and crops through “adventures” since 2004.

I’ve always been tempted to stop (their billboards on Interstate 65 are pretty convincing), but I knew I had to go after hearing a passionate employee explain the farm’s purpose at a recent Purdue club meeting.

I decided to visit the farm with my mom a few weeks later when we were both free and missing each other. Though my family is very familiar with the agriculture industry, we still thought it would be fun to spend a day here and see what else we could learn. Here’s what a typical day at the attraction looked like for us.

A Day at Fair Oaks Farms

The Dairy Adventure

When you first pull up to Fair Oaks, all you see are a lot of buildings and a big parking lot, but figuring out where you’re supposed to go is easy. Each building is clearly marked as crop adventure, birthing barn, etc. When you go into the first building that says ‘Your Adventure Starts Here’, the staff tell you how to get around and what to expect from your visit.

We chose to only buy a ticket for the dairy adventure, because that is the industry we knew the least about, and the crop adventure was included for free.

After buying our tickets, we walked over to the dairy adventure barn to wait for our tour to start. Before heading to the actual farm, our group watched a cute 10-minute animated, 3-D video that provided facts about what we were about to see at the farm, such as how often the cows are milked and why.

Once the video was over, it was time for the adventure. Our group boarded a bus and headed a mile down the road to one of Fair Oaks’ 11 dairy farms. A bus tour is necessary to go to the dairy and pig farms, which really surprised us. I think it made my mom nervous. She kept asking employees if the bus was going to leave without us. It didn’t.

In order to keep the animals from getting sick, you never actually step into a barn while on the dairy farm. You ride through the barns on the bus while information is played through the speakers. This means you don’t have to worry about wearing mud boots to the farm. You won’t be walking through manure or getting dirty.

There were about 15 people on our tour and most of them were adults without kids (including a couple all the way from California.)

A common misconception about Fair Oaks is that it’s just for kids and that is completely untrue. While kids are sure to have fun here, the information given isn’t too watered down and is really interesting for adults.

On the farm we drove through a couple of free-stall barns, which means the cows are free to move about as they please. While they are still confined to the area behind the driveway, they can choose when they want to stick their heads through the bar to eat and which stall they would like to lie in.

There is also plenty of room for them to walk around. After this, we saw where the calves live and the milking parlor. At first, my mom was sad to see that the calves didn’t stay with their moms, but I explained to her that they carry different diseases than adult cattle and it’s done to keep both of them safe. That made her feel better.

At the milking parlor, the last stop on the tour, you get out of the bus and watch through a window inside the barn. We found out this barn has to operate 24 hours a day in order to get all of the milking done.

The constant audio on the bus, as well as our bus driver, taught us so much about the dairy industry in a very short amount of time. If you aren’t from a farm or don’t know a ton about the dairy industry, you might be surprised by what you see here. But don’t worry—the staff at Fair Oaks make it clear that they have the animal’s best interest in mind and are doing all they can to keep them safe, healthy, and comfortable while still providing us with lots of milk.

Here are some of the fun facts we walked away with:

• Fair Oaks is home to 37,000 cows.
• Each of the cows produces 10 gallons of milk each day.
• The waste the cows produce is used to produce electricity for the farm.

The Farmhouse Restaurant

Like I mentioned earlier, Fair Oaks is not just about education. After the tour bus got back from the farm, we decided it was time for lunch at the Farmhouse Restaurant. A lot of the food served here was grown on the farm, and it’s really tasty. We got there in time for brunch so I ordered the bacon waffle with fried chicken and scrambled eggs.

Not only is the food here great, but the restaurant itself is gorgeous and welcoming. Vaulted ceilings, rustic decorations, and a giant fireplace. This place makes you feel at home. My mom kept sending my dad pictures of the restaurant, probably in a not-so-subtle attempt to have him remodel our house.

You don’t have to buy tickets to the adventures in order to go to the restaurant—it’s open to the public. We had heard the restaurant can get pretty busy though, so we had reservations.

The birthing barn

When we were walking out from lunch, my mom noticed the light outside of the birthing barn was yellow, which means a calf is about to be born. I know it sounds weird to watch a live birth right after lunch, but we live on a farm so this has become normal.

This was probably my favorite part of the day. Even though I see baby animals come into the world at home, it never gets old. We were able to watch this little girl’s first breath and watch how her mom instantly knew how to take care of her baby. If you’ve never seen something like this before–it’s a must. Because the farm has so many cows, it’s pretty common for visitors to catch a live birth.

The Crop Adventure

We had a little time left over after the birthing barn, so we took advantage of the free crop adventure admission. This is onsite and is a walk-through display on how crop production has changed over the years and the challenges that are coming to the industry. We did this tour in about 15 minutes, while the dairy adventure took us around an hour.

This adventure was not busy at all. That was the case for most of our day because we went during the winter. The summer, however, is the farm’s busy season and it can get pretty crowded. If you don’t mind a little cold, I highly recommend an October or November visit.

We ended our day at Fair Oaks with some ice cream in the Cow-fe (a play on the word cafe.) You can even watch as they make the ice cream from the milk produced on the farm. This fresh ice cream is outstanding and I’ve even stopped here before just for that. They also sell souvenirs and award-winning cheese in the same building. We had planned to buy T-shirts, but couldn’t find our sizes and ended up with a new ornament for our Christmas tree.

There is so much to do at Fair Oaks and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon no matter your age or farm knowledge. My mom and I already said we have to come back with my dad. If you decide to go (and you should), don’t worry if you miss the exit. They’ll make sure you get there.

Before or after your tour you can climb on a magnetic wall, practice milking a cow and watch their 3D/4D movie. You may also witness the miracle of life in the birthing barn, where 80-100 calves are born each day then top it off with fresh, velvety ice cream at the Cowfé.

Pig Adventure

This adventure opens the doors to conversation between producers and consumers, helping visitors understand the practices that pig farms live by to ensure the safest food possible.

The Pig Adventure tour take visitors through the entire life of a pig, one of America’s most important sources of food. Inside the Pig Adventure young and old not only learn about pig farming, but have the opportunity to play in the Adventure Center and enjoy a challenging ropes course inside.

Crop Adventure

The newest adventure to join Fair Oaks is the Crop Adventure. The importance of farming in America is explained within the walls of the Crop Adventure in fun, innovative ways.

Here, guests can burrow deep underground to see bugs and roots, witness the future of farming and discover how your food is produced - from seed to table.

The Crop Adventure is included in the cost of the Pig and Dairy Adventures.

Mooville  

Mooville is the place kids can catch some air on the “Dairy Air” jumping pillow, climb a 25-foot milk bottle and more. Mooville is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, weather permitting. The cost is included in the Dairy Adventure or a pass can be purchased separately.

Indiana’s Dairy Farms

• April 5, 2018

By Susan Hayhurst

Consumers want to know where their food comes from. They are even happier when they can visit the places where the food is grown and meet the producers in person.

Indiana’s dairy producers, including dairy cows, dairy goats, and dairy camels—yes, camels—are a vital part of the state’s agritourism industry. According to the Indiana Office of Tourism Development and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), agritourism “includes agriculturally-based commercial enterprises conducted for the enjoyment, education and active involvement of visitors.” From northern Indiana’s Fair Oaks Farms at Fair Oaks to the southeastern corridor’s Goat Milk Stuff at Scottsburg, family-owned farms are great at telling the story of milk and its value-added products from farm gate to family plate.

Fair Oaks Farms 

Nationally-recognized Fair Oaks Farms is a precedent-setter when it comes to educating the general public about modern farming practices. “We are unique because educating the public is our main goal including providing self-guided tours of both dairy and pig farms which promote animal welfare, innovation in the agriculture industry and providing safe and nutritious products for consumers,” says Leslie Rusk, the farms’ marketing and special events director. “We want to bridge the gap between farmer and consumer. Our story, is your story.”

Their story features their oldest and most well-known attraction, the Dairy Adventure. Built in 2004, families can hop on colorfully painted buses to visit the free stall cattle barns. You can witness the miracle of cows giving birth in the birthing barn where between 80-100 calves are born every day. Exhibits include cow nutrition and the safety and nutrition of milk. And daredevil youth can climb to “Udder Heights” in Mooville’s interactive area.

In addition to the dairy emphasis, the farm added the Pig Adventure in 2013 and most recently, the WinField Crop Adventure in 2016. The site also features a gift shop, and three tempting eateries, the rustic and welcoming Farmhouse Restaurant, the Cowfe ́, and the Dairycatessen.

Fair Oaks is dedicated to sustainability, even building anaerobic digesters which turn animal manure into Compressed Natural Gas to power their fleet and farm, according to Rusk. “Visitors are always wowed by our innovations. We are proud to say we are ‘Powered by Poo.’”

For those families wanting to leisurely visit Fair Oaks, the business is partnering with Fairfield Inn and Suites to open a 99-room hotel, with silo suites available in 2019.

Traders Point Creamery 

Fulfilling a niche dairy market and a taste of farm life just northwest of Indianapolis at Zionsville is Traders Point Creamery, a 150-acre, family-owned dairy farm and artisan creamery. Noted for being the first USDA certified organic dairy farm in Indiana when they opened in 2003, the operation specializes in 100 percent grass-fed, non-homogenized milk and dairy products packaged in glass.

Owners Dr. Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz prize their heritage breed cows and the picturesque setting the working farm sits on. “The Loft farmstead restaurant is the most organic in the state, deriving ingredients—like dairy, pork, eggs, and produce—from our farm. Visitors love the authenticity of dining in our historic 1860s barn,” says Gail Alden, director of marketing and events.

The Creamery’s delicious products from milk to yogurt to cheese can be purchased at the on-site food store and smooth-as- silk ice cream at the Dairy Bar, both on the barn’s lower level. Winners of many awards, their Whole Milk Yogurt won first place in the 2015 American Cheese Society competition.  Visitors wanting up close experiences will sign up for self-guided or private tours and tastings opportunities. The farm’s renowned milking parlor is open to the public where you can stand alongside the farmers to see how milk is processed.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Vander Kooy looks forward to the operation’s expanded walking trails, more event spaces, and an enhanced nature component thanks to a new partnership with nearby Eagle Creek Park. “We will also be offering low-fat milk. We currently are in 1,600 stores throughout the country.”

Kelsay Farms 

Seasonal agritourism events occur at Kelsay Farms at Whiteland where school buses filled with children for a field trip, families with young children in strollers, and grandparents treating grandchildren abound. Educational field trips can be scheduled in April and October. The farm is also open to the public for five weeks in the fall for Experience the Farm.

Amy Kelsay, tour director, says they often hear visitor comments from “my grandparents used to have a dairy or used to farm so I want my kids to see a dairy farm. With the generational gap today, children aren’t exposed to livestock production like they used to be.

This is the experience we provide and that I think our customers are looking for. Real life on a real working dairy farm!”

Kelsay stresses dairy farmers today, like in the past, care deeply about their animals and their people. “We are a sixth-generation family dairy farm and the only working dairy farm in Johnson County.

Corn mazes, tours of the barns, drinking a signature Kelsay Farms milkshake, and seeing baby calves up close are some highlights of your visits here.”

Goat Milk Stuff 

From their 10-member family to yours, the Jonas’s of Goat Milk Stuff in Scottsburg are known for welcoming you personally in every aspect of your visit. Their tagline, “Work hard. Get dirty. Use Good Soap.,” best describes their daily activities, says PJ Jonas, mom and co-owner.

“Goat Milk Stuff is a family business where children are taught the value of hard work. This hard work and the way we care for our animals results in goat milk products that are of the highest quality and make a difference in people’s lives.”

The dairy operation is the first and only Grade A goat diary in Indiana. The farm is the only place where people can legally purchase Indiana-grown, pasteurized goat milk, yogurt, and kefir–similar to yogurt–for human consumption. Visitors love the handmade goat milk gelato, candies, milk, cheese, and their lovely scented soaps. Guided tours include the soap room, gardens, barns, milking parlor and kitchens. Highlights are meeting the goats and even scheduling a special time for snuggling and playing with baby goats.

One reviewer on www.goatmilkstuff.com ’s website summed up their family’s visit, “Our family loved, loved, loved visiting the GMS farm. We enjoyed the tour led by members of the Jonas family, and we really loved getting to go in the pen with the baby goats!”

Bass Farms  

Shelbyville’s Bass Farms is cleaning up on the skin care industry with what some are calling a “breakthrough.”

What started as a hobby for Jana Bass in 2010, selling her goat’s milk lotions at farmer’s markets, is now a success story. One year into her business, Dr. Darrel L. Ross, a radiation oncologist in Indianapolis, endorsed Bass Farms’ Triple B Hydrating Cream, as a healing agent for radiation burns from cancer treatments. It has led to a cult following of cancer patients around the state and region, and others, who seek the moisturizing miracle.

Bass first created the cream as a gift, for a friend about to give birth. Calling it, “Baby Butt Butter”, she believed it perfect for diaper rash. Once word spread that it soothed radiation-affected skin, it was re-named Triple B Hydrating Cream. Today, it is their #1-selling product, sold in nearly 80 locations around Indiana—many that are hospitals.

There is a pound of lanolin in every batch, that locks in moisture,” says Jana Bass. “Lanolin locks in your own moisture and locks out the outside elements.” she explains. “It also contains frankincense and myrrh, known to be healing.”

Brad Bass, Jana’s husband, recently quit his job to devote time to the burgeoning business. Their daughter, Jessica Wampler, helps out. Bass says talking to cancer patients about how her products have helped them is cathartic, after losing both parents, and a brother, to the deadly disease. Their stories, she contends, and giving back, make it all worthwhile. Bass Farms has donated over $8,000 in products to The Giving Gig, one of Indianapolis’ top fund-raising events for Community Health Network’s Oncology Patient Assistance Fund.

All Bass Farm products are made from FDA-approved goat milk, with all-natural ingredients of the highest quality, and Satisfaction Guaranteed. For a complete list of their skin care line and retail locations, visit www.bassfarms.com .

River Jordan Camel Dairy 

A camel dairy in Indiana? Yes, and it will soon be open to the public for tours. When Luke and Amber Blakeslee of Milford bought their first camels in 2015, the idea was to raise camels to ride and help “mow” the grass. However, their camel “love affair” turned into a thriving business as the couple learned more about the health benefits of camel milk.

Amber began making and selling artisan soaps and lotions, each with all-natural ingredients. The soaps are made up of 25 percent pure camel milk; the lotions with 75 percent. Camel milk has a unique blend of key vitmins and minerals, and is naturally rich in lanolin, lactic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, anti-inflammatory proteins, and Vitamins A,B3, C, and D.

The couple has been preparing and planning to open their operation up to the public, offering tours and educating visitors on not just the milking process, but also the technique of making their products, and more. “We want visitors to see the camels first-hand, and learn the processes behind milking and making products,” says Amber. “We also want to debunk some of the myths, like the fact that camels don’t actually spit, or carry water in their humps!”

Located in Kosckiusko County in northern Indiana, River Jordan Dairy Farm is just 20 minutes north of Warsaw. Tours are planned to start this summer, so give them a call at 574-312-0155 before visiting to confirm when tours will be available. Also, to learn more about their soaps and lotions, go to www.riverjordancameldairy.com .

Market Bucks are for Dubois County residents who may be food-insecure and may shy away from the market because they don’t participate in programs like SNAP or WIC. This program is funded by grants and the generosity of the community. For more information go to www.visitduboiscounty.com .

The Huntingburg Farmers Market will be held Saturdays from June through Fall. For more information go to www.visitduboiscounty.com .

• IMPD finds 3 men shot in park behind police district HQ

3 people shot on near west side of Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Three men were hurt in a Tuesday night shooting that happened at a park behind an Indianapolis police district headquarters.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department says the shooting happened behind the southwest district headquarters in Haughville Park. That’s on the west side off Michigan Street a few blocks west of Belmont Avenue.

The shooting happened sometime before 8:20 p.m. Tuesday, based on call times in the computer-aided dispatch system.

Police say one man who’d been shot was found north of the park at 10th Street and Belleview Place. Another man was found south of the park on Michigan Street. The third man went to Eskenazi Hospital. All three were said to be stable.

Shortly before 10 p.m., investigators were talking with witnesses and continuing to determine what led to the shooting.

The website of Visit Indy , the city’s tourism arm, says the 5.5-acre Haughville Park “opened in 1922, and is one of the park system’s most popular family destinations.”

Determined Yoho advances despite setbacks

MILWAUKEE -- One of the hottest names in Milwaukee’s Minor League system switched from shortstop to bullpen ace and went 1,082 days between collegiate appearances before the Brewers made him an eighth-round Draft pick last year.

Craig Yoho is making the most of the opportunity.

Already promoted from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi last month, the 24-year-old right-hander leads the Brewers’ farm system (min. 10 innings) with a 50.5 percent strikeout rate. In his first 26 innings, Yoho surrendered only 10 hits and one earned run.

“Maybe the best part of this job is finding players who you can’t help but believe in, and it’s even more fun when it lines up on Draft day,” said Brewers area scout Ginger Poulson. “Getting to call him and ask if he wanted to be a Brewer was a moment that I won’t forget.”

Craig Yoho has locked down the 9th inning for Wisconsin with some filthy stuff 🤢 Yoho has K'd 11 with just 1 BB, and allowed no ER in 5.2 IP #ThisIsMyCrew pic.twitter.com/l6r5qVuJ4e — Brewers Player Development (@BrewersPD) April 23, 2024

Yoho went undrafted out of Fishers (Ind.) High School before heading to the University of Houston in 2019, only to see his freshman season cut short by injury after eight games. His '20 season was wiped out by the pandemic, and after a transfer home to Indiana University, elbow and knee injuries cost him all of ‘21 and ‘22.

In 2023, at age 23, Yoho qualified for freshman All-American honors after posting a 3.41 ERA with 63 strikeouts in 37 innings for the Hoosiers. The Brewers signed him on July 19 for $10,000, a part of a larger strategy that helped the club land some Draft steals in other rounds .

“Just knowing his history tells you that he is a grinder and simply perseveres,” said Brewers VP of player operations and baseball administration Tom Flanagan. “He battled multiple injuries, missed the COVID season and converted to a pitcher. Yet here he is. That’s all on Craig for working hard to get healthy and putting himself in this position to perform.”

Craig Yoho tore through High-A earning a promotion to Double-A after allowing 1 ER in 20.1 innings with 37 Ks to just 6 BBs 🔥🔥🔥 Ranked 1st in High-A in… • K-BB% (36%), WHIP (0.69), OPS allowed (.355), FIP (0.94), xFIP (1.60), CS+W (44%) Ranked 2nd in High-A in... • K%… pic.twitter.com/Q5Jkuoo4J8 — Brewers Player Development (@BrewersPD) May 31, 2024

Poulson pushed for the pick after seeing Yoho make huge strides with his changeup between Indiana’s scout day in the fall of 2022 and another visit early in the spring of ‘23. The 94 mph fastball and good feel for a breaking ball had put Yoho on Poulson’s radar.

Now she saw a special strikeout pitch .

“To see that kind of a jump in four months from someone who had zero college innings under his belt immediately caught my attention,” she said. “It was a bit of a crazy feeling to have that kind of conviction in someone who was an older college pitcher without a track record, but I kept saying to myself, ‘If this isn’t big league stuff, I don’t know what is.’”

The intangibles were just as impressive. Poulson dug into Yoho’s support system, which includes his wife, Sydni, a former University of Houston soccer player.

If Yoho persevered through three years of a pandemic and multiple surgeries, it said something about his commitment to baseball.

“He absolutely deserved and earned the opportunity he has now and it was humbling to be part of his journey,” Poulson said. “I have a feeling this is only the beginning.”

With another assist from the Brewers’ Daniel Crooks, here are some highlights from Milwaukee’s full-season affiliates.

Triple-A Nashville As the Brewers dig deep into their stable of pitching depth, it’s worth keeping an eye on 25-year-old right-hander Chad Patrick, acquired from the A’s last November for infielder Abraham Toro. Patrick threw a season-high seven innings in Nashville’s 14-3 win over Louisville on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits with no walks and nine strikeouts. Patrick is 5-1 with a 1.93 ERA (42 innings, nine earned runs) and 46 strikeouts over his last seven appearances, including six starts. Patrick leads the International League in ERA and ranks among leaders in opponent batting average (fourth, .221), WHIP (eighth, 1.14) and strikeouts (tied for eighth, 61).

Double-A Biloxi Shane Smith was named Brewers Minor League pitcher of the month for May after posting a 2.86 ERA (22 innings, seven earned runs) with 29 strikeouts over six appearances (three starts) for Biloxi last month while holding opponents to a .220 average. He began May in the Biloxi bullpen, but his final three appearances were starts, capping the month with five scoreless innings on May 29 vs. Pensacola. Smith was signed by the Brewers as a non-drafted free agent out of Wake Forest University in 2021.

High-A Wisconsin Second baseman Dylan O'Rae ( Brewers' No. 20 prospect ) went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, a run scored and a stolen base in Wisconsin's 6-5 , walk-off win over Quad Cities on Sunday to extend his on-base streak to 21 games. Over this run, O'Rae is batting .311/.463/.324 with 19 runs, 15 walks and 13 stolen bases. He leads the Midwest League with 30 stolen bases and ranks among leaders in runs (tied for first, 49), walks (second, 39) and on-base percentage (ninth, .416).

Single- A Carolina Shortstop Cooper Pratt ( Brewers' No. 8 prospect ) went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base in Carolina's 6-3 win over Charleston on Sunday to extend his on-base streak to 19 games. Named Brewers Minor League Player of the Month for May, Pratt is batting .361/.434/.458 (26-for-72) with four doubles, a home run, 10 RBIs, 12 runs and eight walks during the streak and has hit safely in 20 of his last 22 games, including a current seven-game hitting streak.
