Southwind Farms is an Alpaca farm in Watertown. It is the type of place that when you stop once,…read moreyou will never not stop again when you are in the area. The Alpacas are absolutely adorable, but we never seem to stop when they are having farm tours (although you can call ahead and make arrangements for anytime that is convenient for all involved). Today we stopped by, and one of the owners saw us enjoying watching his 50 alpacas, so he brought one down to meet us. We had a wonderful time talking with him. The alpacas were recently shorn, and their wool is being processed, but it should be in their shop ready for sale in the not-to-distant future.

We have been buying fresh Maple syrup from The Farm/Sugar Shed for several years. We first…read morediscovered these folks when we lived in Woodbury, CT and continued to order and have shipped to our Michigan home. Now that we are in West Texas we still order from these folks and pay the shipping. $72.00+- for 3 pints of Maple Syrup + shipping. A bit pricey for shipping but where in Texas are you going to get REAL 100% pure Maple Syrup? Check out their website for their other farm items.

We love the annual corn maze at The Farm! We have been coming here every year for about 4-5 years…read morenow! Here's what I love about it: - the corn maze is challenging but still fun for everyone - kids and adults alike! I love that there's an option to track yourself in the maze via gps/on a website. The tracking isn't 100% accurate but is good enough to help you figure out how to get out. - We almost always go on Columbus Day. Because it's a holiday weekend they typically have live music. - they include a tractor hay ride with admission, as well as hay bales for the kids to climb on and other fun lawn games. - there is food, snacks and a small farmers market/produce stand. - Admission price isn't too bad - $19.95/adult and only $4.95/kids. - there's sufficient parking! If you're in the area - or even an hour drive away - The Farm is a great place for Fall fun for the whole family!

Beautiful dairy Farm among the rolling hills of Woodbury tucked away off route 6 near the infamous…read moreTaft.

Great family fun day at Evergreen Berry Farm! Right now they are open 8-8, which is very generous…read moreof them however we tried timing it to get some shade before the humidity and heat kicks in. There is plenty of parking between two lots, we found it to be stroller & wagon friendly for the little ones. They do have a few wagons that you can use if available. The staff from start to finish is super friendly and very helpful pointing you in the right direction. Great experience for all ages, you do have to walk about 1/4 each way to get to the raspberry bushes which is the farthest away from the booth.

Great spot to spend a few hours! It's very picturesque, with LOADS of berries all throughout the…read moreseason. It's mostly blueberries, but there are also blackberries, rasberries, elderberries... hmmm and falcons? Yes, falcons! Farmer Bob employs falcons to keep the berry-eating birds away, which is pretty badass.. Easily a must if you live in the area. HUGE deals for berries ... we picked about five pounds of blueberries, which came out to around $9. Compare that to what: 3-4 bucks for a pint at the store? A no brainer.

This is such a cool farm to visit because it is an escape right in the heart of the city of…read moreWaterbury. If you want to bring a book and coffee, the environment is conducive for a relaxing retreat. They welcome dogs and have two that hangout at the farm. The lavender smell is phenomenal- and you can enjoy it throughout the farm. They have all kinds of lavender products for you to buy from honey, to live plants, and dried bundles. They also have other farm fresh veggies. This has become my new source for eggs. They are only $6 a carton and taste so much better than store bought. If you enjoy livestock, they have chickens and goats that you are able to watch eat upon request. This is beautiful addition to Waterbury and I highly recommend to anyone. The prices are affordable and the family that runs it is friendly.
