South Dakota Farm Families and the Moes family are celebrating June Dairy Month by hosting an open house at the their family farm, MoDak Dairy near Kranzburg. The event will be June 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Guests attending the free, family-friendly event will see first-hand where the dairy products they enjoy get their start.
Visitors can explore the fifth-generation dairy farm, enjoy free grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream, and learn more about South Dakota agriculture. Guests will also learn more about how farmers care for the environment, their cows and how milk gets from the cow to the grocery store.
MoDak Dairy is no stranger to opening their farm for tours. "We appreciate the Moes family's willingness to open up their farm to their neighbors and folks from the surrounding communities," said Heidi Zwinger, Outreach Director for Ag United. "There's nothing like giving people the opportunity to see firsthand how committed South Dakota dairy farmers are to their cows and the environment."
Interviews with the Moes Family will be available at the event. Call Heidi at 605-359-9418 in advance for directions, parking instructions and other questions.
