Vermont’s countryside offers a relaxed setting for a family day spent among farms and open fields. Rolling hills, orchards, and rural landscapes make up much of the backdrop, with farm parks and petting zoos scattered across the state offering a chance to slow down and enjoy the outdoors together. Whether you’re near the mountains or closer to a small town, you’ll find farm-based days out that suit a range of interests and ages.
Before heading out, check each farm’s own website for current opening times and any guidance on what to bring. Wearing sturdy shoes or boots is a good idea, since paths can be muddy or uneven, and it’s worth planning ahead if you’re visiting during a busy season.
