Fair Oak Farms

One of the fun places we went in June with the MimiVan was up I-65 to Fair Oak Farms.  It is a working dairy farm with an educational/tourist tone to it.  You can just get off the exit and have a superb grilled cheese and wander around the relaxing outside or you can pay a fee and get access to the milking and birthing barns plus the interactive educational exhibits inside.  We did the whole show and had a great day.  We were most facinated by the birthing barn.  They have a stoplight outside in the yard and when they light is red there is not action, when it is yellow, hoofs have appeared, and when it is green a birth is about to happen.  We saw several calfs born and the highlight since we have a boy/girl set of twins was seeing a boy/girl set of calves born that day.  We enjoyed a havarti pepper grilled cheese, bought some to take home and to friends and got some ice cream to go.  A very enjoyable and memorable day for all.  I highly recommend it for kids and adults as a nice destination or as a stopoff on the way to Chicago.
