Wanna get away? One of your best options is a farm stay. Yes, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city (or the suburbs, or wherever you live) and get a taste of country life right here in the State of Independence. Wake to the rooster's call, enjoy a hearty breakfast cooked from scratch, and then pitch in with the chores—or just laze around on the front porch with a glass of iced tea and a good book. It’s up to you!

You can find farm-stay B&Bs that are just right for a romantic getaway, like the 1815 Light Farm, or family-friendly farm stays where the kids can play with the bunnies and ducks all the livelong day. One great place to see agriculture up close is Neffdale Farm, a working dairy farm in the Lancaster County countryside. In any case, the downhome charm and leisurely pace will make you hanker for a simpler time. Enjoy your stay!
