Book Your Stay

Words we live by, as farmers ..

These beliefs guide us day in and day out, from sunup to sundown. If you have a moment, please read. Who knows? Maybe they’ll inspire you to go out and live off the land like we do.

I believe a man’s greatest possession is his dignity, and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming.

I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person’s character.

I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honorable way a man can spend his days on this earth.

I believe farming nurtures the close family ties that make life rich in ways money can’t buy.

I believe my children are learning values that will last a lifetime and can be learned in no other way.

I believe farming provides education for life and that no other occupation teaches so much about birth, growth, and maturity, in such a variety of ways.

I believe many of the best things in life are indeed free: the splendor of a sunrise, the rapture of wide-open spaces, the exhilarating sight of your land greening each spring.

I believe true happiness comes from watching your crops ripen in the field, your children grow tall in the sun, your whole family feel the pride that springs from their shared experience.

I believe that by my toil, I am giving more to the world than I am taking from it, an honor that does not come to all men.

I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what I have done for my fellowman, and by this standard I fear no judgment.

I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he’s lived.

I believe in farming because it makes all this possible.

Cabot Creamery Co-op

Liberty Hill Farm is one of the voices representing the family farm owners of Cabot Creamery Co-operative. We take great pride in spreading the word about the great Cabot products to whoever will listen. Fortunately for us, the products speak for themselves. Cabot Cheddar Cheese has won every major award for taste and our Cabot Butter is a blue ribbon winner too.

Liberty Hill and Cabot Highlights Liberty Hill Farm participates in Cabot’s Open Farm Events held over the years and our story is available on Cabot’s website, among the online virtual farm tours . Beth and our cow, Larue, were featured in a Cabot Creamery Co-operative commercial that aired on TV.  View the Hug a Farmer video here. In December 2013 Beth went with other Cabot Farmers on the Cabot Creamery Co-operative Gratitude tour in New York City to tout the Cabot goods—singing their praises from the rooftops!

The One & Only Robeth Holstein Herd  Robeth —a combination of our first two names—is the coined prefix for our registered herd. Robeth Holsteins are known for their excellent genetics and have been honored with the Progressive Breeder Registry Award from the Holstein Association for the past 30 years. While the numbers vary, we generally have 320 head of animals all together: cows, calves and heifers, with 120 of those being the milking cows.

Good Cow Genes When we bought the farm from John Hunt, a premier dairy breeder in the 1920s and ’30s, he had a cow named Pearl—a direct descendent of the famous Maryland dairy herd named Dunloggin. Most of our current herd descends from Pearl. Our cows’ lineage has been traced back to the 1880s when they were imported from Holstein Friesland, an area between Germany and the Netherlands.

Indiana’s Dairy Farms

• April 5, 2018

By Susan Hayhurst

Consumers want to know where their food comes from. They are even happier when they can visit the places where the food is grown and meet the producers in person.

Indiana’s dairy producers, including dairy cows, dairy goats, and dairy camels—yes, camels—are a vital part of the state’s agritourism industry. According to the Indiana Office of Tourism Development and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), agritourism “includes agriculturally-based commercial enterprises conducted for the enjoyment, education and active involvement of visitors.” From northern Indiana’s Fair Oaks Farms at Fair Oaks to the southeastern corridor’s Goat Milk Stuff at Scottsburg, family-owned farms are great at telling the story of milk and its value-added products from farm gate to family plate.

Fair Oaks Farms 

Nationally-recognized Fair Oaks Farms is a precedent-setter when it comes to educating the general public about modern farming practices. “We are unique because educating the public is our main goal including providing self-guided tours of both dairy and pig farms which promote animal welfare, innovation in the agriculture industry and providing safe and nutritious products for consumers,” says Leslie Rusk, the farms’ marketing and special events director. “We want to bridge the gap between farmer and consumer. Our story, is your story.”

Their story features their oldest and most well-known attraction, the Dairy Adventure. Built in 2004, families can hop on colorfully painted buses to visit the free stall cattle barns. You can witness the miracle of cows giving birth in the birthing barn where between 80-100 calves are born every day. Exhibits include cow nutrition and the safety and nutrition of milk. And daredevil youth can climb to “Udder Heights” in Mooville’s interactive area.

In addition to the dairy emphasis, the farm added the Pig Adventure in 2013 and most recently, the WinField Crop Adventure in 2016. The site also features a gift shop, and three tempting eateries, the rustic and welcoming Farmhouse Restaurant, the Cowfe ́, and the Dairycatessen.

Fair Oaks is dedicated to sustainability, even building anaerobic digesters which turn animal manure into Compressed Natural Gas to power their fleet and farm, according to Rusk. “Visitors are always wowed by our innovations. We are proud to say we are ‘Powered by Poo.’”

For those families wanting to leisurely visit Fair Oaks, the business is partnering with Fairfield Inn and Suites to open a 99-room hotel, with silo suites available in 2019.

For more information go to www.fofarms.com .

Traders Point Creamery 

Fulfilling a niche dairy market and a taste of farm life just northwest of Indianapolis at Zionsville is Traders Point Creamery, a 150-acre, family-owned dairy farm and artisan creamery. Noted for being the first USDA certified organic dairy farm in Indiana when they opened in 2003, the operation specializes in 100 percent grass-fed, non-homogenized milk and dairy products packaged in glass.

Owners Dr. Fritz Kunz and Jane Elder Kunz prize their heritage breed cows and the picturesque setting the working farm sits on. “The Loft farmstead restaurant is the most organic in the state, deriving ingredients—like dairy, pork, eggs, and produce—from our farm. Visitors love the authenticity of dining in our historic 1860s barn,” says Gail Alden, director of marketing and events.

The Creamery’s delicious products from milk to yogurt to cheese can be purchased at the on-site food store and smooth-as- silk ice cream at the Dairy Bar, both on the barn’s lower level. Winners of many awards, their Whole Milk Yogurt won first place in the 2015 American Cheese Society competition.  Visitors wanting up close experiences will sign up for self-guided or private tours and tastings opportunities. The farm’s renowned milking parlor is open to the public where you can stand alongside the farmers to see how milk is processed.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Vander Kooy looks forward to the operation’s expanded walking trails, more event spaces, and an enhanced nature component thanks to a new partnership with nearby Eagle Creek Park. “We will also be offering low-fat milk. We currently are in 1,600 stores throughout the country.”

For more information go to www.traderspointcreamery.com.

Kelsay Farms 

Seasonal agritourism events occur at Kelsay Farms at Whiteland where school buses filled with children for a field trip, families with young children in strollers, and grandparents treating grandchildren abound. Educational field trips can be scheduled in April and October. The farm is also open to the public for five weeks in the fall for Experience the Farm.

Amy Kelsay, tour director, says they often hear visitor comments from “my grandparents used to have a dairy or used to farm so I want my kids to see a dairy farm. With the generational gap today, children aren’t exposed to livestock production like they used to be.

This is the experience we provide and that I think our customers are looking for. Real life on a real working dairy farm!”

Kelsay stresses dairy farmers today, like in the past, care deeply about their animals and their people. “We are a sixth-generation family dairy farm and the only working dairy farm in Johnson County.

Corn mazes, tours of the barns, drinking a signature Kelsay Farms milkshake, and seeing baby calves up close are some highlights of your visits here.”

For more information go to www.kelsayfarms.com .

Goat Milk Stuff 

From their 10-member family to yours, the Jonas’s of Goat Milk Stuff in Scottsburg are known for welcoming you personally in every aspect of your visit. Their tagline, “Work hard. Get dirty. Use Good Soap.,” best describes their daily activities, says PJ Jonas, mom and co-owner.

“Goat Milk Stuff is a family business where children are taught the value of hard work. This hard work and the way we care for our animals results in goat milk products that are of the highest quality and make a difference in people’s lives.”

The dairy operation is the first and only Grade A goat diary in Indiana. The farm is the only place where people can legally purchase Indiana-grown, pasteurized goat milk, yogurt, and kefir–similar to yogurt–for human consumption. Visitors love the handmade goat milk gelato, candies, milk, cheese, and their lovely scented soaps. Guided tours include the soap room, gardens, barns, milking parlor and kitchens. Highlights are meeting the goats and even scheduling a special time for snuggling and playing with baby goats.

One reviewer on www.goatmilkstuff.com ’s website summed up their family’s visit, “Our family loved, loved, loved visiting the GMS farm. We enjoyed the tour led by members of the Jonas family, and we really loved getting to go in the pen with the baby goats!”

For more information go to www.goatmilkstuff.com .

Bass Farms  

Shelbyville’s Bass Farms is cleaning up on the skin care industry with what some are calling a “breakthrough.”

What started as a hobby for Jana Bass in 2010, selling her goat’s milk lotions at farmer’s markets, is now a success story. One year into her business, Dr. Darrel L. Ross, a radiation oncologist in Indianapolis, endorsed Bass Farms’ Triple B Hydrating Cream, as a healing agent for radiation burns from cancer treatments. It has led to a cult following of cancer patients around the state and region, and others, who seek the moisturizing miracle.

Bass first created the cream as a gift, for a friend about to give birth. Calling it, “Baby Butt Butter”, she believed it perfect for diaper rash. Once word spread that it soothed radiation-affected skin, it was re-named Triple B Hydrating Cream. Today, it is their #1-selling product, sold in nearly 80 locations around Indiana—many that are hospitals.

There is a pound of lanolin in every batch, that locks in moisture,” says Jana Bass. “Lanolin locks in your own moisture and locks out the outside elements.” she explains. “It also contains frankincense and myrrh, known to be healing.”

Brad Bass, Jana’s husband, recently quit his job to devote time to the burgeoning business. Their daughter, Jessica Wampler, helps out. Bass says talking to cancer patients about how her products have helped them is cathartic, after losing both parents, and a brother, to the deadly disease. Their stories, she contends, and giving back, make it all worthwhile. Bass Farms has donated over $8,000 in products to The Giving Gig, one of Indianapolis’ top fund-raising events for Community Health Network’s Oncology Patient Assistance Fund.

All Bass Farm products are made from FDA-approved goat milk, with all-natural ingredients of the highest quality, and Satisfaction Guaranteed. For a complete list of their skin care line and retail locations, visit www.bassfarms.com .

River Jordan Camel Dairy 

A camel dairy in Indiana? Yes, and it will soon be open to the public for tours. When Luke and Amber Blakeslee of Milford bought their first camels in 2015, the idea was to raise camels to ride and help “mow” the grass. However, their camel “love affair” turned into a thriving business as the couple learned more about the health benefits of camel milk.

Amber began making and selling artisan soaps and lotions, each with all-natural ingredients. The soaps are made up of 25 percent pure camel milk; the lotions with 75 percent. Camel milk has a unique blend of key vitmins and minerals, and is naturally rich in lanolin, lactic acid, alpha-hydroxy acids, anti-inflammatory proteins, and Vitamins A,B3, C, and D.

The couple has been preparing and planning to open their operation up to the public, offering tours and educating visitors on not just the milking process, but also the technique of making their products, and more. “We want visitors to see the camels first-hand, and learn the processes behind milking and making products,” says Amber. “We also want to debunk some of the myths, like the fact that camels don’t actually spit, or carry water in their humps!”

Located in Kosckiusko County in northern Indiana, River Jordan Dairy Farm is just 20 minutes north of Warsaw. Tours are planned to start this summer, so give them a call at 574-312-0155 before visiting to confirm when tours will be available. Also, to learn more about their soaps and lotions, go to www.riverjordancameldairy.com .

Indiana Family Farms and Markets 

MERKLEY AND SONS

Known for natural casing hotdogs, the retail shop features a full selection of fresh beef and pork, frozen chicken and seafood, seasoned patties, cheeses, and their own special recipe (and award winning) deli meats, sausages, brats, and smoked products-including bacon, hams, and BBQ.

STECKLER GRASSFED

Steckler Grassfed is a family-owned, pasture-based, certified organic farm in Southern Indiana. Steckler Grassfed provides local, high-quality raw aged cheese, pastured poultry (eggs, broilers, and turkeys), lamb, beef, and pork.

The Steckler Grassfed farm strives to offer the highest quality grass-fed and pastured products. The farm partners with nature, which provides more available nutrition from your food, while decreasing our environmental footprint.

           FISCHER FARMS

DUBOIS COUNTY FARMERS MARKETS  

In Jasper, farmers markets will take place starting Memorial Weekend each year and continuing for 20 weekends, every Saturday from 7:30-11:30 a.m. In 2017, the Jasper Farmers’ Market introduced Market Bucks through a grant made available from the Dubois County Community Foundation. Market Bucks are for Dubois County residents who may be food-insecure and may shy away from the market because they don’t participate in programs like SNAP or WIC. This program is funded by grants and the generosity of the community. For more information go to www.visitduboiscounty.com .

HUNTINGBURG FARMERS MARKET 

The Huntingburg Farmers Market will be held Saturdays from June through Fall. For more information go to www.visitduboiscounty.com .

Flower Farms in Indiana Welcome Visitors for Hands-On Activities

In partnership with: indiana state department of agriculture.

Indiana may be known as a 
row-crop state, but recently, local producers are expanding their offerings to include beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers – straight from the field to your home.

Dollie’s Farm

At Dollie’s Farm in Franklin, Indiana, Tricia Wilson started growing lavender to better use her family’s land and help teach the younger generations about working with the soil. She and her husband of 42 years, Tim, have diligently worked to grow the flower aspects, starting with lavender.

“We wanted to use our land in a way that was more than watching corn and soybeans leave the farm,” Wilson says. “We researched and settled on lavender for so many reasons.”

Those reasons include their love of lavender in teas and other drinks, the supplemental income it could provide since it grew well in the plant hardiness zone, and the opportunity to teach the next generation about agriculture, including their own grandchildren. As their lavender business bloomed, Dollie’s evolved to include more flowers and began inviting consumers to the farm.

“I’ve always had a love for flowers,” Wilson says. “We decided to add flower fields and open the farm for families and guests to experience the beauty of a flower farm while taking home a small bundle of that beauty. We have so many stories of the joy this farm has brought to those who come to get flowers and leave with great memories.”

Dollie’s is a prime agritourism destination for consumers, offering U-pick flowers, school tours and field trips, flower design classes, a line of lavender skin care products, and even goat yoga.

“The chance to teach children about floriculture is amazing. Many of our events include a tour of the farm, sharing what we’ve learned and helping them establish a garden of their own,” Wilson says. “It’s an amazing opportunity to broaden people’s knowledge of farming – that it’s more than just corn and soybeans.”

Because of their efforts, Dollie’s Farm was awarded the 2021 Lieutenant Governor’s Hoosier Hospitality Award, which recognizes businesses that go above and beyond to represent Indiana to visitors.

Fishers Flower Farm

Located in Fishers, Indiana, Fishers Flower Farm is an operation run by mother-daughter duo Mackenzie Baker-Robinson and Kayti Robinson. Founded in 2020, Mackenzie says she was ready for a career change. That, coupled with her parents’ new 8-acre property, presented the perfect opportunity to create a suburban flower farm.

“I now operate Fishers Flower Farm full time, alongside my mom, who’s also a full-time hairstylist,” Mackenzie says. “Though it’s small, our farm requires quite a bit of labor, and the whole family continues to make this dream a reality.”

Fishers Flower Farm is unique in that most of its blooms are grown in giant raised beds. Mackenzie says it’s easier to maintain the soil health and keep pesky critters out. They primarily grow annuals including specialty zinnias, cosmos, amaranth, strawflower and more.

“We take the timeless classics but give them a little whimsy and flair with gorgeous, unique colors and shapes,” she says.

Similar to Dollie’s, Fishers Flower Farm also offers workshops and hopes to expand to U-pick as they become more experienced growers. They recently built a barn called the Flower Sanctuary, which can hold up to 32 visitors for workshops.

“Everyone has a connection to flowers,” Mackenzie says. “Maybe your parents’ or grandparents’ garden, a special flower that was a loved one’s favorite or even the flowers from your wedding. I love being able to teach and mingle with our awesome community while still enjoying nature and creativity at the same time.”

Wilson echoes that statement and says seeing visitors enjoy the farm is one of the best parts.

“So often we hear, ‘I don’t know where to start. It’s all so beautiful,’” she says.
