The farm is an innovative tourist attraction and I believe the success of it comes from its location and its self-sufficiency.

This is a great Idea, I have been to a farm similar to this. Maybe not to the same extent but the same idea. The Farm is the Willemsen Dairy in Frankton Indiana. They have a huge Dairy farm. The link is http://www.willemsendairy.com. I like this idea cause it also allows a learnign oppurtunity for all those who visit!

this is pretty interesting. and in my opinion insanely smart! at the very least, if we were to pretend that people would just stop coming to visit, the are still going to make a profit on selling the cheese the milk, etc. Plus, with all of the crazy amounts of money they are probably making by saving energy and lighting costs, as well as food costs, they probably have enough money saved up to keep this gig going for at least a couple years more if everyone just stopped showing interest in visiting…im curious how much of an expense it is for maintenance costs and worker costs. Whats their annual profit a year? by the sounds of it, it should be relatively high. Kudos to whoever thought of this, they are probably living quite well!

I really want to see this themed amusement park. Though I want to have a look, I still doubt about how many people are willing to go this park. I think the park will last for many years. However, I do not think people will go there for several times. I am not sure how much it costs to build this park. I think owners need to consider how to attract people there.

I find this pretty funny because it is kind of an off the wall idea but it’s amazing that it is so successful. I think new and different ideas like this are great!

A farm themed amusement park doesn’t exactly come to mind when first thinking of places to visit, but this only goes to show the potential of seemingly awkward ideas.

I think this is a great idea to have a tourist attraction that is completely self-sustainable. I’m sure it isn’t exactly Disneyland, but I would be really interested in visiting and seeing how everything worked. And I bet the ice cream is excellent

Fair Oaks Dairy does an outstanding job at highlighting one of America’s most valuable assets, agriculture. They are once again making ag life fun for people of all backgrounds.

I have heard of this farm before, but had no idea that was a tourist attraction. I’m guessing plenty of farmers wished they had thought of this genius idea first. I wonder how big the farm was when they started allowing tourists and how much it has expanded since then.

I believe that this is a very well thought out plan. They are basically running their farm for free. The methane energy is a very smart way to take care of the energy costs while the admission fees are paying for the upkeep of the farm. So all of the revenue that comes from the dairy products is all profit. Brillant….
