At Oakridge Dairy there’s more to do than just milking cows. From birthing calves raised to adulthood, to managing our land yielding crops to feed our herd. Each hard working division focuses on their area of expertise to achieve our goal together. While the milking division is tasked with milking thousands of cows, day after day after day, the chores of all other divisions vary greatly from season to season. There’s land to tend, crops to plant, calves to birth, fertilizer to spread, young to raise, and finally crops to harvest.The first tour will begin at 9 am. The second tour will begin at 11 am. We ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes before your tour start time because we will leave on the hour. Please arrive at 76 Jobs Hill Road in Ellington, CT. You can park right next to the bus and get on the white bus when you arrive. You will meet your tour guide on the bus. We will start at the Oakridge offices and then head to the dairy! The tour should last about an hour to an hour and a half depending on how many questions you all have. That means the 9 am tour should wrap up around 10-10:30 am and the 11 am tour should wrap up around 12-12:30 pm. To finish the tour we will circle back to the Oakridge Offices and drop you off where you started. 98% of the tour you are on a bus. We only get off the bus to watch the cows get milked.
