DAY TRIPS
Below are some trip ideas within striking distance from the farm. They could easily take a day or be modified to fill just an afternoon or morning. It all depends on how much you want to try and pack in. Everyone should be able to find something they enjoy and in general these are places where we have taken the kids and the dog. There is no chance you will be able to visit all the places highlighted in one trip. Pick and choose a la carte and then mix it up the next time. I’ll put a suggested itinerary for each if you don’t want to spend a ton of time researching the map. Click the links for more information.
