The Northern Indiana Dairy Trail is a series of open houses hosted at local dairy farms. The Northern Indiana Dairy Trail is celebrating the past 200 years of Indiana dairy farming by allowing the public to visit 11 participating Indiana dairies. Come out and see how milk and dairy products travel from the farm to your table. Over the course of 2 weekends, 11 dairy farms will be opening their doors to the public. Additionally, in October, one dairy farm in Elkhart county will host the Indiana Bicentennial Torch.
