About
Guided farm tour through the process of getting milk from the cow to your table. Admission includes a trolley ride to the farm, then a walking tour to see our animals and facilities. All participants can feed a calf, milk a cow by hand, pet the kangaroos, make homemade butter, sample Hansen's products and eat ice cream.
Accessibility
The farm tour route includes a lot of gravel. Walkers and wheelchairs are welcome, but prepare for bumpy ground! Larger wheels on wheelchairs work best. There are two parts of the tour where accessibility is limited: the trolley for transportation to the farm, and the milking parlor. Please call (319) 242-1074 to inform us of your needs prior to making a reservation.
What to bring
• Water bottles and cameras are welcome!
• Recommended attire: Closed-toed shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty.
• Bring rain gear/umbrellas if rainy weather is expected; we typically do not cancel tours for rain.
• During the cooler months, it's best to dress in layers. The wide-open space on this farm in Iowa is a lot colder and windier than you think!
Purchases
• We accept credit/debit, Tap to Pay, Venmo, and cash for product purchases after the tour.
• Bring a cooler for your car if you want to purchase any perishable dairy products or meat.
