There are several reasons to strike out on the fourth annual TasteBuds Farm Tour this weekend.
It’s a chance to get out into the country. You get an up-close look at local food production. You’ll be helping to support local farmers.
All good and meaningful reasons to gas up the car and go.
But there are at least two other reasons you’ll want to make this trip: Hay wagons and goats.
