Commune with farm animals: http://www.farmsanctuary.org/the-sanctuaries/watkins-glen-ny/
A 20 minute drive from Catharine Cottages will take you to an amazing experience. Pet the rescued cows, goats, and pigs in a guided tour and then spend time wandering the farm. This promises to be a rewarding encounter.
TIP: The tour opens with a video that emphasizes cruelty to farm animals so you may want to skip the opening video.
