An extraordinary little B&B that any agro-tourist will be excited to visit: Schrute Farms in Honesdale, PA.
Here’s what past guests have said about this hidden treasure:
“Came for the beets, stayed for the bears!”
“Nothing ‘beets’ a Schrute! Fact.”
“This quaint B&B is an excellent place to practice your wrestling skills, to hone your table making skills, and to get acquainted with the wild life of northeastern Pennsylvania.”
“I loved the smell of beets drifting in through the windows, and the wooden walls and build reminded me of my grandmother’s home, and the outhouse was quaint, though slightly amusing.”

Today is Independence Day here in the US, which means lots of barbecuing in the afternoon and fireworks in the evening (if it doesn’t rain). I’m headed over to a low-key party with friends where we’ll be grilling various meats and drinking lots of sangria, and maybe light a firecracker or two. God Bless America and the easy access to pyrotechnics that she offers!
Travel plans are afoot. Brandon, one of my best friends back in Charlotte, and I are formulating a trip for sometime in the fall. The shortlist of destinations right now is:
- Portland, Ore.
- Austin, Texas
- San Francisco
- Montreal
- Seattle/Vancouver
We have friends in Portland and Austin. Anyone have recommendations for any destination in particular, even ones that aren’t listed here?
I was also thinking about a trip to Germany in October, but I don’t think I can reconcile the costs right now. Unless there are some lovely, kind, generous Deutscher out there who want to offer a free place to stay? Ja, Deutschland?
