Farmer Dale & the Junior Weatherby Farm Kids
Why not consider a family vacation on a working farm? Many farmers have added a B&B as a means to provide extra income while educating the consumer about their way of life. Some have developed small educational programs for the kids, allowing them to feed the young animals and fish and swim in their pond. Dale and Marcy Tudor of Weatherbury Farm in Pennsylvania welcome families year round, giving willing participants a hands-on experience of farm life. Marcy also maintains a Web site for other Pennsylvania farmers who operate B&B’s as a sideline.
Tom and Biz Fogie own and operate the Olde Fogie Farm and Bed & Breakfast Inn near Marietta in Lancaster County. Theirs is a working organic farm with a variety of animals as well. Adults and children are invited to help with the chores.

I like the idea of having a family vacation on a farm, it will help those families who are so wrapped in material things or who could use a lesson in selflessness. What better place to learn this except for a farm that is responsible for growing food for mass consumption. However, there is only one difference the farmers get paid for their labor family tourist would not.
