Everyone I came in contact with on this trip was kind, helpful, and happy. Seems like they enjoy working there as much as we enjoyed visiting. We spent 2 days there. It probably could have been done in 1, but we enjoyed being able to tour through the buildings more than once and enjoy the outside exhibits

a fun and informative adventure! the more you know! ...and the tour guides were great! watching a calf be born was amazing. hotel is spotless. we missed the extra outdoor activities as it was too early in the season. but everything was so enjoyable. I'll recommend it to all the city...and country!...people. it's well worth the visit!

Stopped here for a break and lunch while passing through Indiana. The Farmhouse Restaurant menu said they offer a "quick & casual lunch" and well, they weren't lying about the casual part... We ordered two lunches, both the 1/2 grilled cheese and soup. One with tomato soup and the other with chili. We also ordered the *special* $5 egg salad sandwich. The grilled cheese came out as some cheese microwaved between a soft burger bun. Really disappointing and crappy. The chili and soup were okay. The egg salad sandwich was very basic and lacking flavor, served on classic white bread. It was also a weird dining setup, it felt like we were eating in a giant and deserted beer hall. Total transparency: we both expected more from one of the nation's largest dairy farms. We also thought the food would be a little cleaner, like a farm-to-table experience and less processed, but it tasted like food we could get at a gas station. My husband was disappointed with the ice cream selection at the milk bar, he was hoping for more of a variety other than the basic strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, etc. We also needed to get DEF for our truck from the Fair Oaks BP and my husband called it "highway robbery" for the cost we paid. He said it was 2 or 3 times what he normally pays. In summary, a total tourist trap with crappy lunch food. I also didn't know about their animal abuse case from 2019 until after we left. And the allegations about neglect and improper slaughter in 2023. Gross and sad.

We use place this as our go-to stop when we drive to Bloomington IN from Chicago on our way to visit my sister. It has a a little convenience store to get snacks and drinks. Gas prices are on the high side so I normally get gas elsewhere. We have also eaten at the restaurant and it is fantastic. Our pups love the dog park - it is clean; secure, and has water.

Had lunch at the cheese🧀barn. The restaurant was still closed under construction today but the tomato 🍅 soup and grilled cheese was delicious considering I'm not even a soup 🍲 person. Even seen they had Charging Stations for -electric vehicles- when leaving.
