Nov 6, 2017Farm Trips Offer Grassroots Entertainment
Imagine the adventure of collecting eggs and then eating them for breakfast, or milking a cow and then drinking it with home-baked cookies. It’s what’s in store during a farm vacation, where kids put down the Nintendo Switch and give rustic, all-inclusive resorts like The Inn at East Farm in Mount Monadnock, New Hampshire, two thumbs up. While your brood will enjoy accommodations with mini-fridges, TVs, one- to three-bedroom cottages and three- to five-bedroom houses, most of the fun includes getting up close and personal with the great outdoors on 150 acres where heritage breed cows, goats, pigs, horses and more are raised. It’s a veritable petting zoo, with the added fun of tractor rides, mountain hikes, campfires and board games. There’s even activities in winter, like skating, cross-country skiing and horse-drawn sleigh rides, although most families vacation here during specially planned activity weeks during summer school furloughs and long weekends. Homeschool your kids? You might enjoy immersive two- and four-night stays for you and pupils ages 10–17 to interact with others in the same row boat in the on-site lake.
