The Every Day Extraordinary
Nature of Fair Oaks Farms...

Fair Oaks Farms is home to 30,000 dairy cows located on 10 separate dairy sites. 

To grow silage corn and alfalfa to feed these 30,000 cows, it takes approximately 17,000 acres – that is a extraordinary 1.7 Billion square feet or the equivalent of 56,000 football fields.

Environmentally sound farming practices are used to protect the soil and water for future generations; and, more than 3,000 acres are set aside to protect the streams and watersheds, and to provide habitat for wildlife.

Each of the 30,000 cows is milked three times per day, and more than 80,000 milkings are performed everyday, in a 24 hour, 365 day-a-year dairy farm that never shuts down.

To care for these cows, a staff of veterinarians, nutritionists, and herdsmen are available 24 hours a day to attend to any cow's health needs.

This highly trained team also cares for an average of 80 calves that are born on Fair Oaks Farms everyday.

Each of the cows produces almost 10 gallons of milk per day, and in total, Fair Oaks Farms produces enough fluid milk to supply all the citizens of Chicago with milk each year.
