3. ECHO Farm

This is marvelous destination for adults and children. The work they do at ECHO not only has great social and economic significance, it is also extremely interesting. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. As an avid gardener myself, I was thrilled at the large collection of gardening books in their gift shop along with many well-written books on varied topics such as religion and personal growth. It also possible to buy seeds, and some seedlings, of the plants they produce for growing in the farthest reaches of the globe. You will leave with your mind touched by new knowledge and your heart touched by the difference a few individuals can make in the day-to-day struggles of so many. I have visited ECHO twice and will return many more times.
