Muscoot Farm
Enjoy Sunday farmers markets and hayrides at this historic working farm, that’s been going strong since 1880. A massive vegetable garden, coterie of animals, and a farm museum show the grounds in action. Its seven miles of hiking trails allow for up-close fall foliage viewing. Fun workshops include Tea Fusion, where you can learn about what herbs to use for teas and herbal infusions and the Chicken Raising in Your Backyard Workshop which is relatively self-explanatory.
