Warren explains how the teet suckers are attached to the udders and kids get to stick their fingers in to experience how it feels to the cow.

Area attractions:

We are way out in the middle of nowhere so there isn't much around us. This is great for the farm animals, maybe not so interesting to tourists! We are entirely rural. However, the Washington Parish Tourism website lists a few interesting places to visit within a half hour's drive. If they have websites, we've linked to a few other attractions below and will add more as we can.

Our Country Store is the starting point for our tours.

of rural woods and hilly pastureland.

If you do a tour, you'll get "up close and personal" with dairy farm life.
