Come join us in the country

Fair Oaks Farms is an escape to the country with acres of great outdoor fun, food and learning where you can explore family farms and reconnect with nature, animals and our planet.

Recognized as the #1 agritourism destination in the Midwest, Fair Oaks Farms is an escape to the country with acres of great fun, food and learning where you can explore modern working farms right in the corn belt of Northwest Indiana.

No one cares for the land, animals, and the safety and affordability of the food they produce as much as a farmer. Fair Oaks Farms is a place where our guests can have their questions or concerns answered with complete transparency, where they can make the connection between a farmer and the food on their tables.

An Open Dialogue with Farmers

When we opened our farms, we did so as an invitation to you and your family to have an open dialogue with farmers about where your food comes from. In having these conversations and receiving feedback, we’ve adopted better practices along the way. Our mission is to welcome ALL to the table to have conversations about how we are going to affordably feed the world through sustainable, humane, modern agriculture.

Full Statement

Sustainability isn’t just something we claim, it’s how we live.

Fair Oaks Farms brings Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to a whole new light. Watch Mike Rowe explain how we transform our farms’ waste into energy by way of our anaerobic digesters. The goal is to achieve a zero carbon footprint. This year the use of CNG will reduce the amount of diesel that our milk tanker/trailers use by 2 million gallons. “One thing I think we should be proudest of is how we have attacked the environmental issue,”–Mike McCloskey.

Our Story

Humble beginnings to a world class farming operation.

In the late 90s, a group of like-minded farmers looked at a lot of issues that would affect our ability to farm in the 21st century. We were extremely proud of what we did and thought the best thing we could do is open our farms up to the public and be completely transparent. In January of 2004 that’s exactly what we did, we opened our doors and hoped for the best.

World Class Facilities

Fair Oaks Farms has things to do for everyone in your herd. From our Adventures to concerts and events, the farm is known for fun and exciting activities all year long.

Award Winning Cheese

The difference between Fair Oaks Farms’ cheeses is that we control all aspects of the cheese making process beginning with growing the feed that our cows receive, providing incredible cow comfort, harvesting of the freshest milk, and the production of our hand crafted cheeses by our Master Cheese Maker.

We proudly proclaim the merits of our cheeses as evidence by the numerous domestic and international awards we have earned throughout the last decade. Our philosophy for our cheese is simple: our cows, our milk, our cheese – YOUR ENJOYMENT!
