·         Kennett Square is known as the Mushroom capital. Located in the restored Woodlands at Phillips farmhouse dating back to 1828, take a free, self-guided tour where you’ll learn about “everything mushroom “.

Day 3

·         Celebrate life’s sweetest pleasure at Asher’s Chocolates, a family-owned and operated company that has been making fine chocolate since 1892.
