Culinary and Agricultural

In our fast-paced world, many people yearn for the natural rhythms of farm life and the chance to feel connected with the earth, animals and old-fashioned values. Our farms offer pick-your-own fields and orchards as well as hayrides, tours and full scale festivals. At Sprout Creek Farm, your group can meet the animals that produce the milk for cheeses they sell. It’s easy to plan a stop at an open-air farm market to let your group bring home some of the country. Plus, our four award-winning wineries host popular tastings and tours against picturesque surroundings. Don’t forget our nurseries and greenhouses, horse farms and equestrian centers as well as traditional dairy, beef and vegetable farms.
