Surrounded by thousands of acres of land and even more cows, Fair Oaks Farms is a family farm, grown to the scale of a large enterprise, which employs the best environmentally sensitive practices of modern agriculture.  This tour is a one-of-a-kind exploration of a 24/7 working farm that produces enough milk to supply the three million citizens of Chicago.  Your guided bus tour of the farm features stops at the birthing barn, the milking parlor, and the cheese factory where you will see ice cream and cheese being made and sample products.  Opportunities to browse the shops and make a purchase are included in the day’s agenda.  The tour is available to Annual Meeting attendees and their guests only.  Cost of the tour, not included in any other registration fee, is $25 per person, and pre-registration is required.
