for a soul-satisfying, natural experience? Create your
own with these organic farms, handmade crafts, and lush,
rolling landscapes.
 Get closer to
your food sources with a walk (carefully done) in
pastures of free-range chicken, hogs and cattle. Stroll
between beds of fragrant herbs and luxuriant vegetables.
Take in the waves of color at nurseries, gardens and
greenhouses.
 Watch in
fascination as a piece of wood becomes a dulcimer. Enjoy
tasty treats made from the marriage of goat's milk and
fresh herbs. Delight to the fragrance of
handmade soaps,
or the simple life stories illustrated in colorful folk
art or graceful Native American pottery.
Pack a pimento
cheese sandwich, some hand-selected berries and a jug of
sweet tea and head off to find the perfect picnic spot.
That's not easy on this trail-only because there are so
many: lakeside landscapes, farm paths, panoramic
gardens-by-the-pond, and more. Don't forget the camera!
You might want to prove that you saw a
pumpkin slingshot or a herd of the world's smallest
cattle.
 Trace the
journey from gifted growers to inspired artisans and
wonder at the resourcefulness and creativity needed for
each. You'll connect with the circle and extend your
experience by taking home an original work of art or a
basket filled with
mouth-watering goodies. And
don't forget those photos.
