Jun 26    2019 Family Night on the Farm
Family Night on the Farm at Aldinger Family Dairy, County Road 17, Witoka, Winona County

This family-friendly event celebrates the economic importance of the agriculture industry to Winona County. Winona County is the 3rd largest dairy producing county in the state of Minnesota, and provides thousands of direct and indirect jobs.
 
The Winona Chamber provides a fun, safe multi-generational family event at a local family owned dairy farm each year. While the attractions include the popular family-style picnic complete with root beer floats, hay rack rides, kids games, live entertainment, small petting zoo and farm implement displays, there is much more to Family Night on the Farm. This event encourages attendees to take an education tour of dairy farm operations, exploring how the cows are cared for, how milking operations work, what safety standards are in place as well as how the farm operates just like any other family owned business. Most importantly, attendees gain an understanding of just how important the local family farm is to the very culture and fabric of Winona County.
