WHY A GUIDED FARM VISIT?
When evaluating a farm, it is important to know what to look for, what to ask and what really matters. This professionally guided farm visit enables informed eaters and food activists to learn these things. Farmers and ranchers accompany us as well! We all enjoy the opportunity to have rich connections as well as the chance to learn from and appreciate more the successful farmers and others who devote their lives to producing nutrient-dense food.

Farm-to-table lunch! And tour.
George Farms is a fourth generation dairy cattle farm. They realized the nutritional value that was lost from mass produced foods such as milk, butter, etc. They challenge the push for convenience, and better it with local, farm-to-table nourishment. George Farms is committed to creating a community centered around God, hard work and good, wholesome food.
4. SKYVIEW CREAMERY

What began as a way to supply our family with farm fresh milk, has grown into the farm and creamery that Skyview is today. Skyview is a grade A, micro-dairy creamery nestled in the plains of Kansas. Their small herd of beautiful pastured Jersey cows provides us with fresh cream-topped raw milk that they sell at their farm store. They also make and sell a variety of artisanal cave-aged cheese, fresh cheese and other delicious Jersey milk products.
