The Farm Tour
Redhead Creamery opened in 2014 on Jer-Lindy Farms, the family dairy. The walking tour runs from the homesteading of the farm to the crops it grows, the calves, robotic milking and a video of the cheesemaking. The Friday tour is the more child-friendly; the Saturday tour goes deeper. Both finish with three Redhead cheeses. Tours run all year, rain or shine, so dress for the weather, and check in with the purchaser's name at the cheese counter.
Redhead also runs distillery tours at its CheeseStill.
Shop and Lunch
The dining room and shop sell Redhead's award-winning cheeses, creamline milk and yogurt, with Minnesota jams, crackers, chocolates and honey, and Minnesota wine, beer and cider. A full lunch menu runs Friday and Saturday; leave 45 minutes to eat before a tour.

The farm is north of Brooten, within an hour of St. Cloud, Willmar and Alexandria. From I-94, take exit 127 (US 71 south) or exit 100 (MN 29 south) and follow the creamery's directions; the last stretch is on gravel roads. A GPS search for Redhead Creamery works.
