Fosterfields Living Historical Farm

So much fun! Great lesson in how things were run back in the day and a fun way to spend a day. Take a tour on their wagon, see the animals, enjoy the old buildings.
They also offer lessons/​classes so inquire about that. There’s a lot to learn and see here.

The winter farmer’s market here is great — well it’s great for being the only open farmer’s market around (other than Sparta) during the winter. They have honey, soups, and TONS of baked goods. It gets incredibly crowded as the day goes on so make sure to arrive when they open at 10.

We had a very nice afternoon here, originally stopped on Sun ⁹⁄₁ for the «Pickles» exhibition, but wound up spending the afternoon. Learned a lot about the farm, farm life and the family that owned the farm. Our daughter was able to help gather eggs in the afternoon from the chickens, we watched them milk a cow (although the 2013 way). Charlie the newest calf (baby cow) was adorable. One of their pigs was due to give birth any day. We missed the tour to the Willows, the old house on the farm where the family lived, but sat for a while on the front porch in the breeze. The transportation exhibit was also great, we had never seen a car with a crank before and it was pretty neat. Overall given what we originally went to see, we were surprised at how much there was to do. Our group ranged in ages from 10 – 44 and it was quite enjoyable. I would think this is for families with children, but also saw some couples wandering around.
