December 12, 19, 20, 2025
At Dairy Tales with Farmer Kringle at Fair Oaks Farms, families board a festive holiday bus to the farm’s robotic dairy, where “Farmer Kringle” — Santa’s jolly dairy‑farming brother — reads a charming Christmas tale. Visitors receive milk and cookies, can meet and take photos with Farmer Kringle, and even hand him their holiday wish‑lists to deliver to the North Pole. It’s a warm, sweet‑spirited experience perfect for kids — fun, festive, and full of holiday magic.
