About Maleny Dairies Farm and Dairy Tours
Maleny Dairies offers visitors an insight into the daily operations of an Australian family-owned farm in Balmoral Ridge. Guests can observe the milking process in the dairy and see the processing plant where milk is bottled for distribution. The farm tours cover the history of the property and the standard practices required for milk production. Located near the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, the site includes green paddocks where various breeds of cattle graze throughout the day.
The facility includes a farm shop where visitors can purchase milk, custard, and yoghurt made directly on the premises. There are designated areas for calf feeding and interactive sessions designed to explain the journey of milk from the paddock to the bottle. Picnic facilities are available for those wishing to spend time outdoors after the scheduled tours.
