You'll see diversified fruit and vegetable farms, you'll get up close to all kinds of animals - horses, pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, donkeys, and more! See up close what it takes to make cheese or process chickens to be ready for your table. Most importantly, bring along a cooler so you can take home ingredients for a fresh-from-the-farm meal!
