How incredible to ride bikes among the animals

You get to pick your own breakfast

I am in love! Feather Down Farms is a unique experience where families can stay and become part of a working rural farm. This is widely know in Europe and has recently been brought to the United States. These farms are a perfect escape to become one with nature and remove ourselves from the stress of everyday life. The farmer will greet you upon arrival and give you a behind the scences look at the daily chores it takes to care for animals and grow good food. You can participate in milking cows, making cheese, harvesting crops or take a long hike or bike ride.

This is something I have to do sometime in my life. Just a chance to slow down and appreciate nature and understand fully how the food we eat gets on our plate.
