FALL FARM GUIDE
Date: September -October
Time: Vary by location
Details: My favorite thing to do in the fall is visit a local farm. Nothing is more fun than going for a hayride, getting lost in a corn maze or picking the perfect pumpkin. See the Fall Guide for a list of farms and events happening this fall. Many of the farms are opening on weekends only; however, some are opening during the week day. You could also schedule a visit with a few friends or group for week day fun. A few that are always open to the public on weekdays include: Cox, Greenstreet & Montpelier.
