If you’re in desperate need of a day spent pondering man’s relationship with nature, this is the itinerary to make your agriculturist heart sing. And it’s all within 2 miles of each other! If you really want to get in touch with nature, maybe you take a weekend day and bike the whole thing. Or try just leaving your cell phone at home.
Temple Forest Monastery
This Buddhist Monestary, also called Jetavana, follows the Thai Forest tradition. The monks that live there use the peace and quiet to aid their meditation practice and live the Buddhist monastic way of life.
Just because you aren’t ready to live in a monastery doesn’t mean you can’t participate in the spiritual work that takes place there. In Thailand, monasteries like these can be found in most villages and towns and serve as a place for ceremonies, prayers, cultural activities, education, and medicine.
The Temple hosts Sunday Meditation Workshops from 1-3 PM. Overnight guests are welcome as well as drop-in day visitors along with Saturday discussions of the Dharma or Buddhist philosophy.
Frye’s Measure Mill
Water-powered since the 1850s, this mill is still used for producing wooden dry measure boxes of some of the highest quality. The Mill is a Historic Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.
And if you love an engineering puzzle, you’ll love all the machinery that works much the same way it did way back when. Even if the history and industry don’t catch your attention, the mill really is just scenic and beautiful.
Connolly Brothers Dairy
The only thing better than ice cream made fresh is petting the cows that helped make it for you. And you can live that dream at Connolly Brothers’ Dairy Farm.
You might even get to help feed the baby cows! In the farm store, you can purchase milk, meat, and all things maple that come from the farm.
If you’re looking to connect with nature near Temple, New Hampshire, these are some spots worth your time!
