Welcome to Ravendale Farm

I'm Farmer Meng, and I operate my family's farm in Freeburg, Illinois. Ravendale Farm was founded in 1948, and I'm a third generation farmer.

One of the newest members of the herd is this calf right here. She doesn't have a name, yet, but if your classroom adopts her, you'll get to name her and watch her grow with monthly photos and updates.

Just like many of the the other dairy cows on our farm, she is a Holstein. She's friendly and sweet, as many calves are.

If you'd like to adopt her for your classroom, click the link on the right. Once your adoption form is received, we'll send you an adoption confirmation email that includes a photo of your calf and a video message from me.

Each month, we'll send an email with a picture and update on your calf, along with fun, educational materials that help students learn about dairy farming and nutritious dairy foods.

Thanks for reading about our dairy farm and baby calf. We hope you'll consider adopting her and follow her during her journey this school year!
