Fall Farm Tour

It ended up being a very wet day for the farm tour. I was still a little sick, and Emma was of at camp with her Brownie troop. We decided to drive around anyway and enjoy the fall colors, even if we didn't stop at any of the farms.

We found this cool old stone church. It had some beautiful fall foliage and a great courtyard area.


We stopped at a local art show inside an old mill. There were lots of paintings we liked, too bad we didn't have $400 in our pocket.



In order to support the local farms more, we stopped at Hunter's Head, an old-English style pub. Most all of their meats and produce came from the farm just a half mile away. I ordered pumpkin soup, hot apple cider, and sweet potato fries. It was all very good.

Here are some more shots from our drive home.

I love all the old stone walls out here. Just think that this whole area was covered with dense woods. Those early settlers had to clear all the trees, then as they were clearing their fields they used the stones they found to build a wall, one stone at a time. These stone walls stretch on for miles!
This is just a cool bridge to some one's house we found.
