The Farm Vacay and Other Fall Fun

Next vacation?  Farming!

Stony Creek Farm in the New York area are opening their doors to the public to experience life on the farm.  It’s definitely a very novel idea, and it’s a great way to help out agriculture and some ‘little guy’ business.

A small number of farms in the United States have begun to offer vacationers a chance to camp in a tent, milk goats and pick vegetables.

While I may not be cool enough to understand this, I suppose a good part is I personally can’t rationalize actually doing it. It does look very cool, and it’s an awesome way to both have fun and support local agriculture.  The cost is about $335 dollars a night, with a few things included (you can also pitch in and help out for $35 extra).

If this deal is a bit too much of the farming experience, there’s a lot one can still do in the tri-state region during the fall.  Many smaller orchards and farms open their doors to the public and have a ton of different things you can do. If you are lucky enough to live here, or plan on visiting a fabulous choice is also my personal favorite Lyman Orchards.  For many in this area, it’s a must do during the changing seasons to go out to go apple picking and all that traditional type of thing.
However, if not there’s still a lot you can do to feel as if you are.  From decorating ‘leaves’ cut out from paper, to making apple sauce (yummy, by the way).  It’s a great way to pass some extra time and have some fun with creativity.
