I found this great article in the Boston Globe's online edition today.
It is about Coonamessett Farm, land rescued from impending conversion to to a subdivision and turned into a working farm. The cool thing is that it is open to the public, and is a popular stop for local families and summer tourists. Visitors can select garden plants, pick their own vegetables and berries, see farm animals up close, canoe or kayak on the farm's pond, and participate in activities such as vegetarian buffets and Jamaican grill nights in summer. There is even a restaurant on the premises.
It sounds a lot like the way Young's Farm near Prescott, Arizona was. I really miss that place. I really miss Young's Farm. Everytime I hear Sue Harris sing Firefly Fields I think about Young's Farm and get misty-eyed.
