The University of Florida's Dairy Unit invites you to the 2018 Family Day at the Dairy Farm to be held this year on Saturday March 31 (9:00 am – 2:00pm), at the University of Florida Dairy Unit near Gainesville! This now annual event is an Open House for the general public to come visit a working dairy farm.

Admission for the public is free.
Join us for a fun-filled, educational experience. See a working dairy farm. Learn where milk comes from. Meet researchers and veterinarians who work to improve Florida's dairy production, animal welfare and environmental sustainability. New stations added this year! Please wear closed-toe shoes. All children must be accompanied by an adult. No pets please. Free admission, and rain or shine!
