Most the tours I posted here this summer dealt with urban living, but I wanted to give my boys a taste of agricultural business as well. So... just before school started, I called around the Willamette Valley to find a dairy farm that would host us and hit gold with the OSU Dairy Research Center.
Located just north of campus (4380 N.W. Harrison Blvd) in Corvallis, the dairy provided a tour for our family &friends.
Here are a few pictures of our visit,
a cow named Nadine, and our knowledgeable guide.

It was a great experience and we hope to return during milking time (or feeding time for the calves) soon. If you want to visit the OSU dairy contact Director Ben Krahn at 541-737-3275.
