Just up the road is the Stone Barns Center. Walking around a working farm that is set up for visitors was a unique experience for me. It was a very hands-off affair. You just stroll around wherever you want. In the gift shop we picked up a map and the girl at the counter told us where we might see piglets, but that they were probably hiding because of the heat that day. We did eventually see some pigs feeding. At first I thought they were cows. Grown pigs are much bigger than I expected! Their caretaker was calling them by name and they were *kinda* listening.

All in all, Stone Barns is a quick jaunt from the city. If you are looking to get off the grid in a hurry, I recommend driving up here to get some fresh air.
