A visit to Lavender Fields at Maxwell Farm in Delhi offers a peaceful stop where visitors can stroll fragrant lavender fields (season permitting), browse handcrafted lavender products, and experience one of the region's newest agritourism destinations.

As you continue exploring, you'll also find wonderful seasonal farm stands throughout the area.

There is also an open house at Rosemary Farm Horse Sanctuary in nearby South Kortright. Drop in from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, September 5th to meet the some of the 100+ rescued horses, safe in their mountain home. Catch a Training Demo with Daniel McCarthy of Catskill Natural Horses. Select barns will be open for visitors to meet-n-greet our herds and pet some of the horses.

Because farm offerings and hours vary throughout the growing season, we always recommend checking each farm's website or social media before

visiting. Many of these farms will also be a farm day on Sunday.

Lunch

Create your own farm-fresh picnic using goodies collected throughout the morning and enjoy lunch at Creamery Park or another public picnic area.

If you'd rather dine out, spend the afternoon exploring near by Andes. The village offers wonderful restaurants including the Andes Diner where local farmers gather for meals each week. You'll also find The Andes Hotel, Wayside Cider and Café Mutsi with lunch and brunch offerings (in addition to be other great dinner options). While in Andes, , check out the galleries, boutiques, bookstores, and charming small shops that make Andes well worth a visit.

Take a Swing at Putt Putt Van Winkle

On your way to Bovina Farm Day, along County Route 6, you’ll pass a little fantasy land called Putt-Putt Van Winkle. Stop for a laid-back round of mini golf, grab a drink from the bar and a pizza from Tara’s Pizza, then settle in by the river and enjoy a quintessentially Bovina afternoon.

Dinner

After a full day on the farm, unwind with dinner in nearby Delhi or Andes.

Sunday evenings move at a slower pace in the area, but there are still some great spots for dinner—try recently opened Pony’s or Eighty Main in Delhi, The Hamden Inn in near by Hamden, or make your way to Andes for a meal at the historic Andes Hotel.

Before heading home, enjoy one final breakfast, take another stroll through Bovina Center, and stop at Russell's General Store or one of the

area's farm stands for fresh produce, maple syrup, baked goods, or locally made gifts to bring home.

Many visitors arrive for Farm Day and leave wishing they had planned an extra day. We think that's the best compliment Bovina could receive.

websites or social media pages before your visit, especially over holiday weekends. Hours could be reduced or expanded.
