Our daily life is all too often a game of "tag-you're- it" with hauling kids from one end of town to the other in rush hour traffic while eating dinner from a greasy paper bag. In an attempt to unravel ourselves from the rush, rush, rush of laundry and emails and deadlines and packed calendars, we booked a weekend at a working farm that welcomes guests to unplug and dig into farm life and leisure. We planned to unplug in every sense of the word, with not a clock or a calendar in sight. Instead, there will be plenty of roasting marshmallows, reading stories by candlelight, and strolling along country vistas. Sounds like the perfect cure for the common suburban curse.

Beautiful place…
Good get-away plan!
Looks like a fabulous way to spend a weekend for everybody. Love how the place looks at night too.

I firmly believe in vacations where you turn off and tune out (though it's harder to get away with these days). I'd like to try a farm stay here in New England one of these days…
Goats are the perfect remedy for the modern day blues!
That looks like a bunch of fun! It's good for kids to know where food really comes from!
Looks like such another life!
Thanks for sharing:)
What a memorable experience. The cabin looks like my dream home, and I bet the boys had fun, despite the 'boredom' shots. I love how you mentioned it allowed you guys to focus more on one another as a family.
What a novel idea. Good for everyone to unplug and and awesome learning experience for the kids. They look like they were having a great time, too.
