Harvest hosts have become our favorite stops when we are traveling and want to stop just for the night to rest up before another day of driving.

Our visit at this time was when COVID restrictions were in place. Plus we were there in January and it was pretty cold.

There was a beautiful patio that we sat in. The inside of the store was closed. So we ordered from the outside and sat in this charming patio.

We were able to select several different wines. A real plus was they had some homemade cheese which we had with crackers. It was fabulous and bought some to share with our family.

This was a very interesting and informative Harvest Host stop. Everything you ever wanted to know about oil drilling and petroleum products can be found here. There is a great history behind the petroleum industry. Here is some information from the past.

One of the most interesting displays shows all the products we use daily that require petroleum in order to produce them.

The facility also had a field of many oil rigs from the past.

Oil drilling was a very dangerous job, especially when it came to driving the truck with nitroglycerin.

One display at the museum was quite interesting. It was an oil drilling ‘lego’ city was built entirely by students.

Seeing this museum brought with it the reality that without petroleum most of those items we are comfortable with could no longer be made.

This Harvest Host site open air brewery.

Beer Vats

A unique list of beers.

Indoor Seating

Since we visited here during Covid restrictions it worked out well with the fabulous open air concept. There is seating inside and out.

The huge parking area has the plenty of room for Rv’s and local patrons.

It is an open air establishment with seating inside and out. Their home brews on tap can be purchased. Food can be ordered form an outside food hut with many choices. Staff was very friendly. This Host site is very popular with the locals

A small building nestled in the woods with huge parking area for RV’s.

The hosts were very pleasant and accommodating.

You can purchase beer to take home or sit and purchase the different types of brew. This is where is all happens.

Some local patrons stopped in for a few beers.

Meeting locals or other travelers adds to the uniqueness of the Harvest Host program. Great conversations, laughs and a good time. This establishment also has live entertainment on the weekends.

This Harvest Host is a working farm. We were able to see the newborn calves, watch the free range chickens scurry around and tour the operation. This was a great place to rest and relax.

As with all Harvest Hosts the product they sell is their beef. We purchased several packages of ground beef. We were hoping to get some steaks but they were all out.

When produce is in season you can also buy a variety of fresh garden vegetables. Unfortunately we were at the beginning of the season so we missed out on the home grown produce.

We had a nice relaxing time at the Grazin Acres Farm before once again getting on the road to continue our travels.

This winery is nestled in the woods. A cabin sits among the trees with a view of the grape vine fields. You can walk the trails through the grapevines or sit on the front porch and have great conversations with other travelers and the owner.

Various wines are available for purchase.

This Host site only has a few spots for RV’s so, as with all Harvest Host sites, you need to call and reserve your space.

This Harvest Host location offers a great selection of wines and concentrates, jellies, etc. They specialize in Elderberry.  The staff was very friendly and helpful.  It was a great way to take a break from driving and tour their store and all the products available.

One added benefit, if you like their wines, jellies, etc, they will ship them to your home.

I love the Elderberry concentrate which I add to seven up or orange juice. A small amount is quite sufficient. I order it regularly.

We boondocked in their spacious parking lot which can accomodate several RV’s.
