When's the last time you milked a cow? Okay, you might not be able to do that here, but you can choose your adventure (dairy, pig, or crop) to learn more about how Fair Oaks is paving the way in food and farming.
Make sure you grab tickets on the website for one of these daily tours, and stop by the COWfé for a cup of joe and a grilled cheese sandwich for the road.

This scenic oasis is the perfect opportunity to take a deep breath and enjoy the great outdoors. Hike the mile-long trail (which takes about 30 minutes to complete) and admire the beautiful garden.

While in Lafayette, grab a hearty lunch at The Homestead. A soup and sandwich combo, with a slice of pie to wrap off the meal, is never a bad choice.

Nothing like a little antique shopping to get the blood flowing, right? This 27-year-old treasure trove is 25,000 square feet of furniture, artifacts, pottery and so much more!
You'll want to give yourself enough time to search through everything, so keep your eyes peeled for the gems!

It isn't a true road trip though the midwest without a stop at Cracker Barrel. With breakfast available all day, feel free to get a short stack for dinner, or enjoy one of their daily specials. And don't forget to grab some candy and snacks from the general store before heading back on the road home.
