Prairie Fruits Farm & Creamery opened in 2004 as Illinois' first farmstead creamery, built on the idea that the best cheese starts with well-cared-for goats and healthy land. Join us for a 30-minute guided walk through our gardens and barns to hear how that idea shaped this farm, and where it's headed next.
This guided tour covers our regenerative farming practices, introduces you to our herd of Nubian and LaMancha goats, and gives you a real look at how a working farmstead creamery operates. The tour wraps up back at the Farm Store with a tasting of a few of our current seasonal cheeses.
Tours run every Friday at 5:30 PM through October. Meet at the Farm Store. Be sure to dress for the farm. The tour covers both indoor and outdoor ground, including gravel and grass, and can be muddy depending on weather.
