Visitors to Vernon can learn to nurture and appreciate the fruits of nature at its many farms and attractions. Panning for gold, digging for opals and picking tomatoes are three rewarding ways for visitors to harvest a piece of Vernon to bring home. Take a tour and watch Honeybees weave their magic, green thumbs do their work and bakers add their touches: follow the trail of honey, fruits and treats around Vernon. Locally made Italian prune or raspberry spirits can be bought at the liquor store; hot buttered corn can be munched after a horseback or farm wagon tour. Life-sized murals throughout the city tell a story of Vernon's three pristine lakes and rugged ranching landscape; they also reveal the roots of Vernon’s growth as a year-round outdoor recreation playground.
