See first-hand what modern-day agriculture is all about as your group tours an actual operating farm lead by the farmer himself. These are not hobby or research farms. DeKalb Farm Tours is experienced in hosting domestic and international tour groups. We can accommodate groups of 40 or more. A picnic barbeque can be arranged on the farm upon your request. Customized tours are also available based on visitor interest.
