After experiencing cabin fever for most of the winter, spring shows up with boundless activity. There's always something to do! When people ask me about events this time of year, listing festivals to attend and parks to visit is a breeze.
I also tell them not to discount happenings at local farms. Some of them have a lot going on. Activities can range from animal feedings and strawberry picking to hay rides, camps, workshops, and food events. It's easy to spend an entire day hanging out, especially if you have kids.
Here are two farms my daughters are I really enjoyed visiting in recent years:
Our first and only visit so far was during a fall event. We had a lot of fun. There was live music, a petting zoo, food, gem mining and more. They even had a short animal costume parade. So cute!
The farm offers beautiful walking trails, a pond for fishing (with a fishing license), eating areas, and a slew of outbuildings to read and learn about. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous.
