Dudley Farm

Last month, we visited Dudley Farm, in Newberry, Florida. 
Dudley Farm is a historic park which is also an authentic working farm.  There are farm animals, an original homestead and farm buildings.  It's great for a low-key family outing.  Unless you live on a farm, Dudley Farm offers a chance to step out of the ordinary.  You can see farm animals, and get a taste of life on an old farm.  And it's only $5 per carload!

I would definitely recommend taking your family to Dudley Farm State Park, especially during a special event.  For example, on December 4th, they are having the 20th Annual Dudley Farm Cane Day.
From 9:00 am till 3:00 pm, you can enjoy watching the traditional method of making cane syrup, including our mule driven cane mill, and double kettle syrup complex.  Other activities include traditional craft demonstrations, blacksmithing, wood working, cross cut saw demonstrations, children’s games, a quilt drawing, music and much more.
