When we got there, we soon realized we could go in the retail store or the educational area, but there was no place to actually see a real live cow. Apparently the walking tours are not during the winter months. Oh well, we will definitely make a trip back next spring.
For some strange reason (and yes, I know this is strange because the amount of work in a dairy farm is unreal) I think it would be pretty neat to have a dairy. Not sure why since I don't drink milk. At. All. However, I have always been fascinated with dairies. I would also like to have a Christmas tree farm or a tulip/cut flower farm, but some might say those are just as crazy.
So we visited the retail store and tried tons of varieties of cheese and then we visited the educational area. Lots of good information. The video was amazing. The amount of technology in dairy farming today is just mind blowing.

It really was a neat display. I cannot wait to go back and you can't beat fresh, farm made cheese. The cheese is made on site with milk from their cows. The food for their cows is grown on site, so this is a very green dairy.
