In South Dakota, deep agricultural roots mean visitors have plenty of chances for a true hands-on experience, from exploring vineyards to see how wine is made to meeting farm animals like Oreo the cow and learning how to make cheese. When you participate in agritourism, you’re tapping into a way of life that few visitors see while also learning the origins of your favorite food and drink.

Join host Brian Thacker as he takes a stroll through a hops farm, helps brew some beer, and makes cheese with some friendly emus. Along the way, learn about family farming legacies, hands‑on food and drink production, the creative process behind experimental craft beers, and the sensory joy of tasting locally grown ingredients.
