Ideas to make the most of your visit to Lionshare Farm & Peter Leone

Farm Scavenger Hunt

Find a tractor, a barn cat, the biggest vegetable on the property, a piece of equipment you can't name, and something that smells.

Pick a Winner

Everyone picks the best-looking apple, berry, or pumpkin — the farmer (or the grandkid) is the final judge.

Farm Math

If strawberries cost $4/lb, how many can we pick for $10? Real-world math that actually lands with kids.

Baby Name Game

Calf, piglet, lamb, kid (goat), chick — who gets them all right? Grandparents know more than they think.

What Do They Eat?

Point to every animal you see and have everyone guess what it eats before you check the sign.

Grandparent Money Tips

• Weekday farm visits skip the weekend "agri-tourism" event surcharges that can double the admission price.
• Buying direct from the farm stand usually gets you twice the produce for the same price as a grocery store — and you picked it yourself.
• Many farms have a free walking area separate from paid pick-your-own. You can still see animals and explore without paying to pick.
