The grounds go down to Lake Champlain, including where the adjacent Inn and Flower Garden are. Some of the walking paths criss-cross the maple syrup tapping lines. Fun to see and pet their cows plus the big Farm Barn, where the independent organic O Bread Bakery* and Beeken/Parsons furniture maker both operate. (* See separate review.) Although our visit was on an early December Sunday, there's apparently more going on from Spring on and over Summer. Would recommend stopping by Shelburne Farms any time, especially great for kids!

They also have a nice bakery (got fresh bread there for lunch to go with the cheddar) and syrups/jams/goods from local farms.

It was cool to see a pride flag in the front of the shop, you don't see many of those out here!

We ended up buying a natural lip balm, sheep milk yogurt, and a brownie! Amazing!

This farm is located not too far from Montreal, it took us around 35 minutes to get there. You have…read morethe choice to either buy some already filled strawberries baskets or pick your own. We chose to pick our own. When you arrive, someone will give you how ever many empty baskets you want, and then explain how it works. It's pretty simple, you fill your baskets with strawberries while eating as many from the field as you want and then you pay when you leave. Each basket can contain up to 4 liters of strawberries and costs $9. Depending on the season, you can also pick raspberries, tomatoes, zucchinis or many others things. Québec strawberries are smaller, more red, and extremely sweet, so I really love to picking them myself every year when I can. It's a great getaway from the city and it's enlightening to get your fresh fruits and veggies directly at the farm. If you're going during lunch time, don't forget to pack a picnic. They have a few picnic tables for people to use so you can spend some time there after or before picking your fruits, enjoying a nice picnic outside, and then going to get your dessert directly from the field. :) They are open 7 days a week so you can go anytime you want. Monday to Friday from 7AM to 7PM and Saturday and Sunday from 7AM to 6PM.

If you're passionate about organic farming, organic food and buying local then you definitely owe…read moreit to yourselves to know about Windmill Point Farms and the work of Dr. Ken Taylor. Doc Taylor was also the subject of the NFB film, "Organic Prophecies". With a PhD in chemistry, Doc Taylor is no slouch when it comes to looking at the ills of agro-business, genetically modified seeds and produce and the effects on human and environmental health. You can read about Doc Taylor and his work here: http://eap.mcgill.ca/MagRack/SF/Summer%2093%20S.htm You can purchase organic seeds and or seedlings through the website but I personally prefer going out to the farm and looking over the vegetables and fruits myself and even chat with Doc Taylor. He runs the farm with his family and they are very nice and interesting people to talk to who are also concerned citizens and put their money where their mouth is.

In the summer, they give free hayrides during the Clinton County Fair. Mary the horse is very sweet and the cows and goats will also say hello! In the fall you can pick gorgeous sunflowers and take pictures in the fields. During Halloweekend you can go through the corn mazes and pick out your favorite pumpkin. This place is perfect for families too, the children can visit the petting zoo where the pigs, donkeys, goats roam free in the fences. You can actually walk into their gates and play with them. We loved meeting the baby goat, Loco and her mother Coco! The pigs love their belly rubs and will fall over when scratching them! It's very cute. Many of the things to do here are free so great value! They sell local apples, gifts and fun things in their gift shop too. Supporting the local farms in town is great for the community here.
