Due to the nature of our circumstances, our Programs and Services are in the process of reinventing themselves.   We are looking to re-start Tours in early 2023.
​Thank you for your continued support.  


Our personalized tours of our operations at Jupiter Creamery go beyond your typical trip to the farm. Although there will be plenty of opportunities
to pet a pig or cuddle a cow, we also dive into what it takes to create a healthy, sustainable environment for our animals, and the trickle down effect
of how raising healthy animals improves our own health and wellness. We also offer guidance and tips on how to get started producing your own food,
or how to improve care for crops and livestock you may already have. 

All of our animals are pastured, grass-fed, non-GMO, and soy-free. We believe in providing our chickens, cows, and pigs with the highest standard of living, because it's only from healthy, happy animals that we can produce the highest-quality food. 

We create customized tours for families, individuals, school groups, Scout troops, college classes, vet programs, and more.
​We believe people of any age can benefit from getting to know where their food comes from and how it is raised. 

Tours are approximately one (1) hour in length and are available daily at 9:00am and 5:00pm (Apr-Oct) or 4:00pm (Nov.-Mar.)
The largest tour groups we can currently accommodate are roughly 10-12 people and the recommended donation for a group of this size is $100. Larger groups may incur a higher cost.

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required to book a tour. Payment in full is required to reserve your booking and a minimum of 48 hours' notice is required to receive a refund.

Warning: There are some diseases and parasites that can be spread from animals to humans. The risk of infection through petting farm animals may be prevented by following everyday good hand hygiene measures. Therefore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that children and adults should wash their hands immediately after touching the animals at any petting zoo. Heightened precautions should be applied to high-risk groups: children under the age of five, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women fall in the category of high-risk for serious infection, and hence should strictly follow all the precautions enforced in the animal contact area.
