Cheese Making Tours

See what farming looks like now.

Our cows have robots. Our cheesemakers have big ideas. And it's all happening on one working Minnesota farm.

At Jer-Lindy Farms and Redhead Creamery, we bring together generations of dairy farming, modern technology and hands-on food craftsmanship. A visit isn't a staged farm scene: it's a look at the people, animals, decisions and science behind the food on your table.

What happens on a farm tour?

• Meet the dairy: See cows using robotic milking systems and learn how the technology helps us care for them.
• Meet the calves: Learn about raising the next generation of our herd.
• Follow the milk: Discover how milk moves from our farm to the creamery and how we turn it into cheeses with very different flavors and textures.
• Get a look into the cheesemaking room: View the production space through our Cheese Shop windows. Cheesemaking isn't always underway during tour times, so we also share a video of the process.
• Finish with cheese: Your guided farm tour concludes with a sampling of three Redhead Creamery cheeses.

Choose the experience that fits you.

Friday farm tours — $10 per person: An approximately one-hour experience that's especially approachable for families and curious first-time visitors, concluding with three cheeses to taste.

Saturday farm tours — $15 per person: A longer, approximately two-hour look at our family's farming history, everyday operation and what comes next, concluding with three cheeses to taste.
