Great little (very little) old town with many of the original buildings from 17th-18th century. Several antique shops that have a lot of great stuff! Must visit the general store -- way more than meets the eye.

Drinks & Nightlife
Ste. Gen has a number of great wineries. A couple of my favorites -- Chaumette and Crown Valley - both approx 40 mi from the farm
I've also heard great things about a few other wineries in the area:
Twin Oaks - Farmington approx 25 mi from the farm
Edg-Clif Farms and Vineyards - near Potosi approx 50 mi from the farm
Terrace at French Village - in French Village approx 40 mi from the farm
