I was reading about a program called Harvest Hosts which is a program where RV'ers can park overnight at over 200 vineyards and farms around the country, for free. (Memebership is like $30 a year.) I think that would be fun. I love buying from small farmers.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307256424509510558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-16762254492561257882011-01-28T12:26:01.016-08:002011-01-28T12:26:01.016-08:00Maybe next time I go that way, I may try it out. ...Maybe next time I go that way, I may try it out.

North Carolina that we love to visit when we are in the Raleigh area.. we usually buy some cheese bread and maybe some olives or such and a bottle of wine.
