Rose's Berry Farms, LLC

My husband and I came here to pick fruit (mainly raspberries and blueberries), and everyone on the farm was super friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to take our time, pick as many berries as we wanted, and the farm itself is gorgeous. It's a very serene experience, which adds to the leisurely pace. You can eat the fruit right off the bush. They also have fantastic Sunday brunches that draw on fresh food (waffles, pancakes, quiche, and of course fresh fruit).

Awesome belay climbing and bouldering wall. They accommodate all levels with climbing routes and classes for all ages. The staff is all friendly and for the most part hands off except for the class instruction. Great activity if you are by yourself or have a small group of people looking for something to do. All gear rentals are $5 and a day pass which includes either belay or bouldering, or the other workout areas, is $22. Same price even if you only plan to stay for 1 hr. If you go frequently, a monthly membership pays for itself in 4 visits. They do offer discounts for students or UTC employees - just ask.

Don't miss this unique experience. It takes a little effort to walk the whole trail. Wear comfortable shoes for walking. You may be tempted to splash in the brook on a hot day.
