The experience

An hour and a half is enough to see the whole operation without rushing. You start by meeting the baby calves, the part most kids remember, then move through the farm to the processing plant, where you watch the bottling happen in real time. A knowledgeable guide explains each step, so you understand what you're looking at instead of just watching machines run. The tour is built for families and school groups, which means the pace works for young kids and adults alike.

Unlimited samples of Shatto's flavored milks and other dairy products come at the end, so you leave with a real taste of what the farm makes. The farm sits in open countryside north of Kansas City, and you're welcome to bring a picnic blanket and stay after the tour to eat outdoors if you want. Tours run Tuesday through Saturday, and the whole operation is wheelchair accessible, so strollers and prams work fine for infants and small children.
