What do lavender, goats, and blueberries have in common? Well, probably not too much other than you can find all three (and so much more) at a variety of farms in the Greater Cadillac Area! We have compiled a list of 12 area family friendly agritourism destinations to visit.
Please note that due to the seasonal nature of some of these destinations, we suggest you follow their Facebook pages or give them a call to ensure they are open prior to visiting!
