Throughout the year, farms can be a great place for friends and family to get plants, gifts, or fresh produce. A nice spring or summer day can even be a perfect time to go horseback riding outside! Local farms surrounding Milford all have their specialties. This is why I have captured images at four local farms that specialize in either produce, plants, equestrian activities, or all three!
