Fair Oaks Farms - A Bovine Adventure

Kiddo, Cuz and I went with the grandparents to Fair Oaks Farms this past Tuesday. Located off exit 220 from I-65 in Jasper County, Indiana, sits 20,000 acres dedicated to dairy.
The list of Goodies:
*Easy to find.
*Good value for the money. Very educational.
* Many varieties of cheese. All reasonably priced.
* Tour buses and an elevator. Not too much walking for the older folks. Wheelchair accessible. No visitor actually walks around the barns so everybody stays clean.
* Averaging 80 calves born per day. Go to the birthing barn. The wait won't be long.
*See cheese being made while eating a HUMONGOUS grilled cheese sandwich.
Draw backs (but not really)
*Visitors can't pet the cows. Understandable health reasons. Don't go thinking this is a petting zoo.
--So take the whole family and go have a mooooo-ving experience! (sorry! couldn't resist.)
