Shop Small, Play Big On A 5-Farm Fall Family Adventure

This fall, my family and my energetic 5-year-old grandson are embarking on an unforgettable adventure across five local farms. It’s the perfect celebration of community, making memories and giving us a chance to shop small, and support the amazing people who steward the land.

Our first stop is Raynay Farm in Ruffin, home to champion alpacas, soft yarn, homemade jams, and pasture-raised chickens. Next, we’ll visit Century Farm Orchards in Reidsville, a rare treat, as they open their gates to showcase heritage fruit trees alongside local craft vendors. In Yanceyville, we’ll stop by Baldwin Beef in Yanceyville to learn about pasture-raised beef and sample rich, local flavors.

At Simmons Farm Museum in Elon, Dee and Randy Simmons invite us down memory lane with vintage tractors, a restored 1945 general store, and wagon rides. As our last farm of the day at Pass Gen Farms in Leasburg, my grandson can’t wait for the mini petting zoo with friendly goats and ducks, organic produce, and bounce-house fun where my grandson can wear himself out!

From pasture-raised beef to farm-fresh treats, Caswell County is the ultimate fall destination. Grab your boots, support local makers, and join us on the farms!

We Tell You Where To Go!

Destination Food & Travel Creative Team
Think of us as your digital tour guides with a serious design addiction. At Destination Food & Travel, our creative team has spent over 40 years mastering the art of the “wish you were here” feeling. We’ve traded city traffic for scenic routes and cubicles for wide-open spaces, all to prove that the best stories aren’t found on a screen—they’re found down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. We’ve gotten so good at making rural look radical that we were even named an Adobe Success Story. Apparently, our layout and design techniques are officially “the gold standard,” but we just like to think of it as making sure the local hidden gems get the spotlight they deserve. Whether it’s a tiny mountain town or a coastal secret, we use our four decades of design magic to make sure you’re inspired to pack a bag, grab your keys, and go find some fresh air. Making Rural Cool since 2011.
