Tips for the Perfect Picnic

Summer is in full swing and it’s prime time for picnicking. Our special places offer something for everyone looking to dine alfresco this season.

 

To help you pack the perfect basket, we asked the culinary experts at our farms for some suggestions.

Staff Picnic Favorites

We asked Trustees staff, and property experts, to tell us their favorite Trustees picnic spots. You’ll find some of your favorites along with, perhaps, some undiscovered gems.
