The Springvale Farm Walk returns Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The walk offers agricultural variety in a compact area.
Featured farms raise sheep, beef cattle, Christmas trees, mushrooms, vegetables, berries and apples. They also make cheese, bottle hard cider and make maple syrup.
The four-mile, self-guided walk proceeds through fields, pastures, orchards and woods. The path is well-marked and generally follows gentle terrain. There are a few rough spots, but it is certainly walkable by children. Sturdy shoes are recommended. Dogs are welcome if on leashes and with owners who pick up after them.
A pancake breakfast is available 9-11 a.m. at McDougal Orchards. Each farm along the way serves a complimentary refreshing drink. A few of the farms also sell produce and prepared food.
This event is held rain or shine. Parking and a shuttle service is available, for more information, visit sanfordtrails.org.
