Harvest Home Dairy

Harvest Home Dairy and Harvest Moon Farm in Crestwood, Kentucky, are operated by Robert and Angela Klingenfus. They have been in operation since 1972. The 300-acre farm is home to 50 Holstein and Jersey cross cows. Their farm tours have something for everyone.

Tours can be customized for teachers or groups to cover the topics they want. Tours are by appointment only and can be booked online.

They have three children in their herd: Andrew, Harper, and Wade. They take pride in being a Grade A dairy and a place for kids of all ages. Over the last five years, the Armstrongs have transformed the farm into a place where people can gather for fun and educational activities related to farming, specifically to the dairy industry. They are excited to be opening their creamery in the near future, Little Lou’s Creamery. More information can be found on their website.
