The Farm at South Mountain To Be Featured on The Bachelor

Love can be found in some strange places. At least, as my parents told me, that's how I got my sister. TV love, however, at least in the form of The Bachelor, ABC's reality series about a dude on a journey to find "true love," happens in more sentimental spots...

Love can be found in some strange places. At least, as my parents told me, that's how I got my sister.

TV love, however, at least in the form of The Bachelor, ABC's reality series about a dude on a journey to find "true love," happens in more sentimental spots. And next week, the show will get its romance-on at the Valley's very own The Farm at South Mountain.

The eighth episode of The Bachelor will feature The Farm as the enchanting backdrop to a special hometown date -- including a picnic (tee-hee!) -- with the "aw shucks" 29-year-old bachelor and winemaker from Sonoma, California, Ben Flajnik.

And with The Farm's comforting cool ambiance, pecan tree grove providing canopies of shaded, outdoor dining, and acres of green grass, what's not to love?

Tune in to ABC's The Bachelor next Monday, February 20, to watch Ben search for true love, but mostly to see The Farm on television. Check your local cable guide for times.
