Wisconsin Farms and Farmers Markets: Tours, Trails and Attractions

With its fertile soil and more than a century of agricultural heritage, Wisconsin ranks #2 in the nation for its number of organic farms, second only to California. From the boho-chic Driftless Region to cherry orchards hugging Lake Michigan in Door County--not to mention pizza farms nestled along the Mississippi River--the Dairy State is the ideal vacation for farm-loving travelers in search of authentic culinary experiences. Whether it's stepping into a cranberry bog or sipping cider fermented from antique-apple orchards, this book's profiles of farms (and its farmers) has that itinerary covered. The agritourism opportunities abound throughout the state: farm stays, pick your owns, trail rides, farming museums, county fairs, cheese trails, dairy centers, wine tastings, petting zoos, tree farms, farmer's markets, and so much more.
