this place has mapped trails that are wide, clean and relatively flat. The farm is beautiful, and adjacent woods are very nice. We did a loop that totalled just under four miles. you could squeeze out six if you wanted to. This is a working farm with a farm store and visitor's center. We just hiked, so I can't speak for the farm's other attractions, but it has some organized activities as well so might be suitable for kids, especially on the right day. There is a separate parking lot for the woods, which we accessed via trails from the farm. However, the woods allow off-leash dogs while dogs aren't allowed at all on the farm.
