Agri-tourism

Many farms around the State of Kentucky are utilizing their land to produce a new type of "attraction" for the public to enjoy. Many farms are producing bees wax to make candles, wool from farm animals to produce shawls and sweaters, milk from their milk cows to make ice cream, fruit for canned items and the list goes on. They attract people from around the state for a days outing or a family fun day to pick out the perfect pumpkin. Logan County, Kentucky is no exception. Here is the website which houses information about farms around the state that provide fun packed days for a family outing. Go to site
