#AutumnDrive ~ a small community opens its doors to friends, family, strangers -- and you!

Nestled deep in rural Woodstock, amidst the vibrant fall leaves, in-and-out of rustic barns and across a nine-square-mile section of country, locals and visitors find a host of unique products, produce and activities with a fall flare.

I can’t believe how many wonderful community members we have in Woodstock – neighbors who will open their homes, their barns, their property and their farms to strangers and friends alike.

Robert Blue of Blue Eagle Pottery organizes the event every year. Now in its 29th year, 23 neighbors are participating, and there is a little bit of everything. Blue told me that what makes the drive so special is the variety of activities, products and experiences offered. He explained that farmers sell their produce, artist sell their creative work, crafters sell their projects, antique enthusiasts sell and showcase their antiques, the list goes on.

My kids enjoyed feeding donkeys … for nearly an hour at 5 Lazy K Ranch.




These chickens at the same stop were such fun!



There was incredible kettle corn fresh from the kettle. 


I loved the autumn colors and the produce found at Lisk Family Farms.


There was this beautiful lady ~ and her natural soaps. Visit her here. Isn't she the cutest?



Candles from Mad Soyentist


This incredible artist painted a horse portrait on pallets. You can visit Diana at AestheticArtWorks.


Of course, my friends at 5 Lazy K Ranch had this fun photo op!


Convinced? 

Come visit the Autumn Drive ~ www.autumndrive.net  Today and tomorrow (Oct 15 and 16) from 9-5, rain or shine!
