Dairy Farm

At the Aldor Acres Dairy Centre we focus on educating people about agriculture in general & dairy farming in particular, in a fun, hands on kind of way. Groups visiting our farm will experience the sights, sounds, & smells of a real dairy farm. You will be encouraged to try new activities on your visit. A visit to the Aldor Acres Dairy Centre is an excellent field trip opportunity for primary and intermediate grade levels. Secondary students taking sciences and culinary arts also benefit from our programs. Families and other groups are also welcome. We simply ask that you pre-book!

Your trip to the farm starts with a short video introducing you to dairy farming. Next, you move into the milking parlour theatre where you can comfortably observe the real milking. (We offer a flexible start time for any group of 15 or more people.) During the milking there will be a variety of things to try. Perhaps you will hand milk a live cow on the show floor, separate cream, make some butter, or feed the calves. Following the milking, groups will be given a guided tour through the cow & calf feeding and housing facility.

Chocolate milk samples will be provided. Please be advised that we have discontinued our complimentary activity books in an effort to help the environment.
