Since so many of us are opting, willingly or not, to stay closer to home this vacation season, it’s worth doing a little digging around to broaden your family’s horizons beyond the amusement park or water slides. Rural Bounty is a nationwide website listing farm vacations where you can pitch in and help out, experience rural life at a blessedly rural pace, ride horses, care for barnyard animals, pick your own organic fruits and vegetables, and more. You can search by region or by things to do, from hayrides to petting zoos, California to Maine, and also find neighboring hospitality options, wineries, farmers markets, etc. Even if it’s not vacation time and you’re looking for something to do with the kids that doesn’t involve a joystick or modem, see what the options are close to home. http://www.ruralbounty.com
