Farms, Wines, & Back Roads
Quite a bit of our county is rural, with beautiful winding back roads dotted with wildflowers, fields and trees. You can pick your own fruits and berries, buy veggies direct from the farm or at a roadside stand. The Gallatin Farmer's Market is set to open in late summer. Grapes grown here end up as award-winning wines made at our two wineries.
Take a break from the hassles of the city, breathe the fresh air and share the farm experience with your children. Request our Barns, Berries, & Back Roads brochure for more information. The brochure and related website (Top of the Ridge) is a joint agri-tourism promotion between Sumner and Robertson Counties.
