The Barn is not only the meeting place for the tour, but it also a place where you can learn about the history of Shamrock Foods and the products they make. There are photos and games and more. After your guided tour, you'll get a tasty treat (I won't ruin the surprise) and you can purchase Shamrock Foods ice cream. Want a souvenir with Roxie on it? Who wouldn't! Of course, there's a gift shop.

Ice cream and souvenirs are all reasonably priced. Visitors are welcome to bring their own picnic lunch and use the indoor picnic area.

Roxie told me this, and she said I can tell you: Yes, of course there are male cows born at Shamrock Farms every day. Since this is a dairy farm, and most of the time the girls are artificially inseminated, few of the boys are kept at the farm.
