Visit with our Brown Swiss cows along the trails. They produce the milk for our farmstead cheddar.

Our more than 10 miles of walking trails offer breathtaking views and quiet spaces for conversation, discovery, and reflection. They are the primary way to enjoy our extensive campus, including popular destinations to the Farm Barn, lakeshore, Lone Tree Hill, and Flower Gardens.
