Meanings
plural haycations
- A vacation stay on a farm, in which guests often help out with daily farm tasks.
In a world where small farmers need to diversify to keep their fields afloat and city dwellers are more desperate than ever to learn where their food comes from, a "haycation" for about the price of a nice hotel room in Manhattan didn’t seem like such a far-fetched idea.
