As the seasons shift, make a plan to soak up the sights, smells, and unique delights of fall.
Discover Farm Fresh
Autumn is an ideal time to celebrate our nation’s bounty by visiting farmers markets to marvel at the colors, textures, and wonder of fresh produce. Take a farm tour and learn how our food moves from plow to porch. Visit a community garden and become inspired to join in or plan for your own. For a more immersive experience, spend the night or a weekend on a family farm. Leave everyday expectations behind and get ready to pitch in for the morning chores. At farms across the country kids can collect eggs, pet pigs, corral critters, tend to a garden, fish in the creek, or hang out in the shade of fruit trees.
