June Field Trip Wengers’ Tree Farm
A visit to the Wengers’ at 141 Bean Hollow Road, Flint Hill
From the town of Flint Hill take Fodderstack Road and take a right onto Dearing Road. Drive past Caledonia Farm 1812 B & B and, where Dearing ends, take a left onto Bean Hollow Road.
Google Maps will tell you that 141 is on the right before you even get to Bean Hollow Grassfed Farm. Google Maps lies.
The Wengers are a bit further on, over at least one bridge (memory fails—it might be two) and on the left. There is a blue number sign—141, and another that says it’s a tree farm. Turn in and follow the road and the “141” signs up to the house.
