The Dairy Adventure at Fair Oaks Farms — Attraction in Rensselaer

Absolutely an experience you must check out when in Northern Indiana! Pristine and sparkling clean buildings and facilities on the campus and farm building tours. Sparkling clean from busses, to shops, restaurants, hotel and tour buildings.

This place runs like a well oiled machine. Everywhere. Most folks we talked to had been there for many years.

Hotel rooms were beautiful, although our particular room view was terrible and looked out onto a roof that blocked the entire view.

The hotel breakfast was great with many many options. My only advice would be to organize it a little bit better it seemed like things that needed to go together we're somewhere else it was kind of discombobulated.

Lots of great merchandise and food items and produce in the gift shop.

Dinner was absolutely fabulous at the big restaurant. We split a big ribeye steak we had garlic mashed potatoes green beans, the mac and cheese was to die for, the biscuits was fantastic. Skip the cheesecake.

The pool area was fantastic and the hot tub was key. Love that it was also indoor outdoor.

Tons of parking and the grounds itself were absolutely beautiful with all the flowers and landscape.

We did the pig tour and the dairy tour and we caught a birth of a calf or two in the birthing Barn. All of these things were very informative and extremely interesting how the science of it all has evolved over the years.

Everyone from the bus driver, to the person behind the counter, to the tour guides, and everyone else we encountered were very, very friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a great place for kids of all ages and adults we'll find the workings of this farm very informational...

As a place to come with your own child, it's a great time. They add more and more it seems each time. You could spend a day pretty easily when the weather is nice 👍👍. However, as a field trip (which was my most recent visit), I kind of wish they would choose either the pigs or the cows, but not try to squeeze in both now. Previous field trips with just the cows were a lot more enjoyable. All of the stuff that the kids were actually looking forward to, we couldn't do because we were rushing. No 3D movie, no birthing barn, no outside play, etc... lunch was ALL the way back in the crops building which took time to walk all the 1st graders back, then they didn't have ice cream back there and we wouldn't have had time to get them all the way up front before the scheduled time for the cows (which was another walk past all the things they wanted to do to go back all the way to the front building)... No Cowfe, rushing to eat ice cream cups they finally just brought us in crops (but forgot spoons) while walking from crops to the cow bus while being told no food was allowed. (The first building ladies were a little grumpy). We saw pigs and didn't get all the way through the cow adventure before we had to leave. I definitely recommend doing one or the other if you're on a time crunch (like a field trip), but if you have the day, there's a...

Anything But a Fairlife! customers Feel Betrayed’ by Alleged Fair Oaks Farms Cow Abuse, Says Attorney With Lawsuit Seeking Class-Action Status ROBERT CHANNICK, Chicago Tribune November 27, 2019

Millions of consumers may have a claim against Fairlife milk over alleged cow abuse at an Indiana farm, as eight lawsuits from around the country came together in a Chicago federal courtroom Tuesday seeking class-action status.

The lawsuits are being consolidated into a single consumer fraud case against Chicago-based Fairlife, Coca-Cola and the dairy co-op that includes Fair Oaks Farms, the Indiana dairy farm where the alleged abuse was captured by an animal welfare group on video and released in June.

The graphic video went viral, and about a dozen Chicago-area grocers pulled Fairlife from their shelves amid consumer backlash, including Jewel-Osco, Tony’s Fresh Market and Pete’s Fresh Market. The lawsuits followed quickly, filed in federal courts around the country until October, when a judicial panel ordered the cases be heard jointly by U.S. District Judge Robert Dow...
