Goat Mountain at Parsons Farms

The useful thing about roaming Delaware is that the next good stop does not always announce itself as an attraction.

Parsons Farms is the kind of place that fits DBF’s broader Delaware map: not a resort attraction, not a museum, just a working local stop that rewards pulling over.

The farm describes itself as a fifth-generation family-owned operation with local produce, a Country Store and café. Out back, its animal area includes the feature it calls “Goat Mountain.” Visiting the animals is free; feed is available for purchase.

This is exactly the kind of inland Sussex County detour worth keeping in your pocket when the beach day needs a second act.
