You haven't had ice cream until you've sat on a rocking chair looking over rolling pastures with cows grazing in the distance eating from a homemade waffle cone. This dairy farm is too idyllic to pass up! (They also sell milk, butter, eggs, etc.)

This place is amazingly unique. Essentially, it's a large treehouse on a working farm where they grow all kinds of goodness which you can buy in various forms. Herbs made into teas, tinctures, baked goods... you name it. Sometimes you can find live music there, but often we go for the scenic views and wholesome treats. Pick up a tincture for what ails you on your way out!
