Meet the real cheese makers at Bleugrass Chevre, our 40 friendly dairy goats who love visitors and are always looking for
treats (we’ll have plenty of animal crackers!). Learn about the different breeds of goats, then tour the cheese plant and learn
how our farmstead cheeses are made from all that delicious milk they provide.
Come to Chrisman Mill…hear the laughter of children at play while their parents stroll down long rows of lush grapevines to
select the perfect picnic spot. Walk the cobblestone trail to the winery, past the trickling waterfall and quaint wooden bench
where hard-working hands have placed the results of that morning's work in the herb garden.
A diverse fruit and vegetable farm near Somerset.
Hillside Heritage Farm
Hillside Heritage Farm is located in Lancaster, in the heart of the Bluegrass region of central Kentucky. Our family-run farm
is home to many different animals that are treated as members of the family. Our hogs are pasture-raised and are
hormone and antibiotic free, producing high quality pork at fair prices.
Visit us at Lovers Leap Winery in Lawrenceburg, KY where you can taste some of Kentucky's finest wines.
Nestled in the hills of the Kentucky River basin, the soils of Lovers Leap, so famous for producing tobacco and renowned
bourbons, have now been tasked to nourish wine. The rich earth is the perfect medium to unlock the flavor that is the
Bluegrass.
