Things To Do

Farmland Fun at Verdant View

 

Farm Fun For All Ages!

Be sure to call ahead to book your farm fun visit at Verdant View. Here you can take a wagon farm tour (weather permitting), see the farm animals up close and even milk a cow or feed a calf. Enjoy walking through our "back forty" by following our path through fertile farm fields and pastures. The Strasburg Rail Road passes through our farm so most times you'll be able to enjoy seeing the steam train chug by. Wave and the engineer may even toot his whistle! Group reservations welcome.

Here are just a few of our programs:

"Farm Fresh Tour and Taste"

Milk a cow, feed a calf, see raw milk being produced. Go on a wagon ride, munch on our own homegrown popcorn, then enjoy sampling five local "fresh from the farm" foods. Tastings will vary by season but could include raw milk, local honey, farmstead cheese, local yogurt, seasonally fresh picked fruit and vegetables - in other words, lots of yummy surprises.

The Farmer's Apprentice!

Be an apprentice for an hour or two on our real working farm. Milk a cow, make preserves, make a batch of artisan cheese, learn how barns are built, feed the animals, learn quilting or plant or harvest some crops. Reservations required.

We have a variety of different activities for individuals and groups of all sizes. Please click through to our website for details.

Wake up in Lancaster County!

Since Lancaster County is more fun when you sleep over, you may decide to book a few nights at the Verdant View Farm Bed and Breakfast. Needless to say, a hearty hot farm breakfast is served daily except Sundays. Choose a room or rooms in the farm house for a family getaway or the Little White House for a romantic getaway.

Whether you are planning to enjoy farm fun activities, an overnight stay or both, reservations are required. Call or email us today to plan your visit and to confirm pricing.

Most major credit cards, PayPal and personal checks accepted.
