What is Fair Oaks Farms?
 

This #1 agritourism destination in the Midwest is your escape to the country with acres of great fun, fresh food and learning. Fair Oaks Farms is a place where you can explore family-owned farms and reconnect with nature, animals and our planet. You can go on their Dairy, Pig and Crop Adventures all year long to learn about their animals, farming practices and nutrition. They also have seasonal activities such as an Easter egg hunt in the spring, sunflower picking in the summer, a pumpkin patch and apple orchard in the fall and plenty to do in winter.

Holiday Fun at Fair Oaks Farms

Start your holiday season with a bang – or rather, a smash! On November 2, 2024, join in their Pumpkin Smash Bash, a fun event where guests can smash the remains of their pumpkin crops. This playful tradition helps prepare the fields for next year’s harvest and offers a fun, hands-on experience to bid farewell to fall. It’s the perfect opportunity to unleash your inner child and share a laugh with family and friends.
 

For a cozy, one-of-a-kind dining experience, book an evening in one of the Farmhouse Igloos starting November 15, 2024. These private, full-service igloos offer gourmet dining beneath the stars, surrounded by the serene beauty of a winter wonderland.
 

Starting November 22, 2024, the Forest of Lights will transform their nature trail into a dazzling display of holiday lights. Wander through the illuminated trails, warm up by the bonfires with hot cocoa and s’mores, and don’t miss special appearances by Santa and other holiday friends on select evenings.

Thanksgiving is all about the food, so let Fair Oaks Farms handle the cooking with Thanksgiving to-go! Enjoy a chef-prepared Farmhouse Thanksgiving Dinner that serves 4-6 or 8-10 people, ready for pick up on November 27, 2024. This year, focus on making memories with your family, not on making dinner.

Looking for a handcrafted gift idea? Check out their Soy Candle Workshop on December 14, 2024. Create your own candle with a custom scent, housed in a beautiful holder. It’s a fun and creative experience ideal for friends, kids, couples, or groups and the perfect way to add a personal touch to your holiday gifting.

For those who prefer unique treasures for holiday giving, stop by their Holiday Market from November 15, 2024-January 5, 2025. There you can find freshly baked treats, seasonal home décor and Fair Oaks Farms merchandise.
