FORGET THE MUD BOOTS...ALL YOU NEED IS A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE Get up close and personal with our farms. Why? Because they are unique and a ton of fun! Kids of all ages will be so entertained that they won't even know they're learning something at the same time. Agritourism offerings in our area make it easy to see (and taste) how food goes from the land to your plate. This, combined with genuine Midwestern hospitality, gives you some of the best agriculture experiences in the nation. THE ANIMALS It's true; we have a lot of cows here. Get to know where your dairy products come from and how they're made when you visit Dimock Dairy Cheese Store, Farm Life Creamery, and Stensland Family Farms. Don't leave without sampling cheese and ice cream since that's the best part! Good Earth Farm is where animal lovers need to be. Meet their hogs, chickens, ducks, miniature steer named T-Bone, and his best friend, the pony. Learn about the history of the farming and cattle industry with hands-on exhibits at the Stockyards Ag Experience Barn. THE CROPS Flower lovers need to visit Fleurish Flower Farm and Prairie Heirloom Farms. The fields of beauty go on for days! And the amazing aromas? That's something you have to experience yourself. Pick your own flowers and take photos with some of the best backdrops around. Tour the market gardens at Prairie Heirloom Farms to see a colorful twist on the produce varieties that grow best in our region: tomatoes, sweet corn, broccoli, squash, and more. Many of our wineries offer access to their vineyards, and 6th Meridian Hops Farm is the place for beer-lovers to see hop production in action. Stay for mouthwatering food truck dishes, live music, and beers on tap while you relax in the sun. THE SLEEPOVER Get a countryside experience when you stay at Blue Tin Ranch! This rural event space with refurbished barns is extra special when the stars come out. Relax by the fire in their corn bin swings. See what country living is all about.
