Home Things to Do Orchards, Farms & Gardens

Orchards, Farms & Gardens

On your way to the fertile fields of Northern Indiana’s LaPorte County, take a little detour through the countryside. Each autumn, Mother Nature paints the scenery with spectacular reds and oranges, a colorful backdrop for the kids searching for that perfect pumpkin in the patch. During the spring and summer, as you shop the weekly farmers markets or visit a u-pick orchard for those tasty homegrown fruits and vegetables, the fields of wildflowers and grasses sing lazily in the breeze. Winter is celebrated as well as the Christmas tree farmers welcome you with hot chocolate, coffee and a smile while you browse acres upon acres pining for that perfect holiday tree.
