Oakridge Farm

In the category of educational, this is "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" However, I would never actually exclaim, "Woohoo!," I just would like to make this clear. This working farm is a little known MPS operation that is a good example of why we should be happy about paying taxes. It's a great destination for any children but especially edifying for those urban denizens who don't ever get to see where food comes from. Of course these farm animals are treated humanely so they 're not actually going to learn where their food comes from, so it might be more like a history lesson. There are dairy cows, calves, donkeys, horses, ducks, chickens, sheep, turkeys, farm dogs and farm cats. The classes are in an old farmhouse. The handful of underpaid and volunteer workers are friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient and wonderful. Call ahead to make arrangements via MPS, it's a group outing sort of place. Don't rely on GPS take 67 off I-94 - Go South on 67 (8.5 miles),North East (left) on Hwy C (1.3 miles) - there's a little sign. It is a working farm so you shouldn't just drop in.
