which is nestled in the beautiful Manheim
farming valley. You will see a high-tech view
of farming including a drive down the middle of a Titanic-sized
loafing barn,
otherwise known
as the cow palace

a bird's eye view of
the 54 cow
milking merry-go-round.

with stories and
humor, the tour
introduces you to
modern farming at
its best. The tour ends with a rich and creamy
batch of churned ice cream on a cone.

acres of natural woodlands, majestic gardens,
rich conservatories and dancing fountains are
