Visitors are welcome at the farm. The farm staff knows that survival of small farms is dependent on educating the public about rural life and the origins of their foods. Since this is a working farm and a great deal of time is spent daily with milking, feeding and processing cheese, visitors are encouraged to schedule a tour for a better look at the farm and how it is operated.

It is not necessary to schedule a time to visit the farm's two shops. The shops are open daily except for Sunday mornings. The cheeses, fudge, yogurt, and milk produced by the farm are available in the retail shop. The Hen House offers the folk art of Pat Bell as well as other gifts and collectibles.

Tours cost $6.00 per person and last approximately 1-1/2 to 2 hours. A minimum of ten people is required to schedule a tour. If you do not have that many in your groups we may be able to work you in with another scheduled tour.

On a tour you will learn about the different breeds of dairy goats and Split Creek's management of the goat herd. An explanation and observation of the farm's guardian dogs and herding dogs will follow. You will tour the milking parlor as well. The tour ends with the sampling of the cheeses, fudge and milk produced at the farm and an opportunity to browse through the farm shops. The farm shops are open Monday through Saturday 9:00 am - 6:00 pm and Sundays  2:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Most of the tour takes place outdoors and there is a minimum amount of walking involved. Please keep in mind that this is a working farm and dress accordingly - clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind if they happened to get dirty.

Spring is a popular time of the year for tours, when the kids (baby goats) are being born. In addition to goats the farm has chickens, rabbits and pigs.
