The kindergarten students visited the DeJong Dairy Farm on Friday. At the farm you can arrange ahead of time to go on a tour of the facility. You will need to gather a small group of friends (10) and make a reservation. The tour is about 1 hour long and the cost is only $3 per person 1 year and older. The tour will take you through the milking/bottling process then back to see/feed the cows and finishes with some cold chocolate milk and cookies! If you are lucky, you may even be able to see/feed a baby calf. The children can also feed the many various animals they have at the front of the farm. No tours are scheduled during the summer months.

You can also visit the farm to just pick up milk, visit the animals, or have a picnic.

Things to know: The farm can be very hot in the summer with lots of flies. Bring sunscreen, hat, and closed toe shoes. There are picnic tables and partial shade. There is a port a potty on site. They have feed for the animals for purchase at 25 cents per baggie and a small quick mart where you can purchase milk and other snacks.
