How to Get the Most Out of Your Visit
Since it’s such a big piece of land, it’s understandable that it would be located slightly out of town. The best way to enjoy this fantastic place is to dedicate an afternoon and bring the whole family.
This is especially enjoyable for kids of all ages and offers an excellent opportunity to learn about what life was like before iPads and grocery stores.
You can find the farm just west of Somerset, along Marvel Street. Feel free to contact them anytime with your specific questions, and if you make it up there this summer, be sure to let us know. We love hearing about everyone’s experiences with our Love Local suggestions.
Until then, keep your hearing healthy and support local businesses!
