Getting a first-hand look at where our cows live, what they eat, and how they are milked.

Seeing how the wonderful milk is packaged in their famous glass bottles and how those bottles are washed before being re-used.

Tours typically last one and a half hours (1.5 hours) from start to finish. The minimum group size is ten however smaller groups such as families can be accommodated. There is a $4 charge per person, and children two and under are free. All groups are welcome; we have hosted tours for school field trips, families, Boy and Girl Scouts, businesses, and Senior citizen bus tours.
The Shatto Milk Company Country Store is your one stop-shop for farm fresh milk, cow collectibles, clothing, snacks, and gifts of all types.
While browsing the Country Store visitors can sample many of the yummy products bottled by Shatto Milk Company, then walk about fifty feet up the sidewalk to the barn and pet the baby calves; or just stay in the store and view the bottling plant through one of the two large viewing windows.
Once you are through looking around the farm store and venturing up to the dairy, visitors are always encouraged to relax in our porch swing or on our old fashion church pew. These relaxing seats offer an opportunity to watch our cows roam the pasture. Visitors are welcome to stop by the farm store 7 days a week.
