Southern Delaware’s countryside offers a rare blend of agricultural heritage and hands-on family fun with Delmarva Discovery Tours' "Goats & Growlers". This four-hour journey unites the rustic charm of working farms with the vibrant culture of local craft breweries, designed specifically for families ready to engage away from screens and dive into tactile outdoor experiences.
Centered around Sussex County—Delaware’s agricultural heartland and a vital part of the Delmarva Peninsula—the tour highlights the region’s thriving farm economy, which remains pivotal to the local way of life. Participants travel just beyond the coastal beaches through farmland dotted with baby goats, miniature horses, and peacocks, gaining a genuine understanding of modern farming traditions and animal care.
At the goat farm stop, kids and adults alike get to connect up close with animals, petting and sometimes feeding the kids, fostering an authentic appreciation for farm life. Next, a working dairy farm visit introduces guests to the source of one of the country’s freshest ice creams while offering glimpses of newborn calves. The lavender farm provides a sensory contrast—a quiet moment filled with soothing floral aromas and calming views that punctuate the day.
For adults seeking a taste of local craft culture, the option to visit Crooked Hammock Brewery offers an engaging finish. The brewery welcomes the whole family with craft beer flights for grownups, kid-friendly drinks, and lawn games like cornhole, melding laid-back social time with outdoor play.
Delmarva Discovery Tours stands out in this region by weaving together education, nature, and community in one accessible trip.
