Fair Oaks Dairy Experience

There is the neatest place in northern Indiana. It's called Fair Oaks Dairy Experience and is an incredible dairy farm and much more. The complex produces incredible milk, cheese & ice cream, plus they share with the public the unique experience (at least for us non-farmer types) of allowing the public viewing of the birth of calves. We walked in the birthing barn just as this was happening:

They offer wonderful tours and attractions for children like a giant air bag jump, which they call the "Dairy-Air" and even a climbing wall, giant milk bottle. They serve luscious grilled cheese sandwiches in their restaurant, as well as milk and ice cream!

If you're up that way, don't forget to stop in! We went on our way to Chicago. Heading north, it's about 1 hr and 15 min before Chicago to give you an idea.
