Get a glimpse into life on a real working farm in Lancaster County’s Pennsylvania Dutch Country. Operated by 4th generation farmers at Verdant View Farm, the educational tour is suitable for adults and children, and includes interaction with the farm animals, a tour of the working dairy farm, hand milking a cow, and a wagon ride. Take a Tour at a working dairy farm in Paradise, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Guests become a part of the working farm during their stay, so activities can vary depending on the season and daily farm schedule.
