Original Toronto Star caption: As green as Ireland; the rolling farms of Prince Edward Island can be an excellent base for a visiting family of landlubbers set on exploring the island. None of the 90 farms that take in guests is more than half an hour's drive from the warm ocean beaches that have made this million-acre potato patch a vacation favorite with Canadian families over the years.
