Massachusetts has all kinds of factory tours that let you experience how the things we take for granted are made, up close and personal. Take the Taza Chocolate Factory Tour and make some chocolate to enjoy. Sampling the product makes the tour more interesting at Boston’s two big brewers: the Sam Adams Brewery and Harpoon Brewery. If you like your factories cute and cuddly, the Island Alpaca Company on Martha’s Vineyard has got you covered (in alpaca fleece). And at Cape Cod Potato Chips, you’ll see how potatoes go from plants in the ground turn to perfectly golden chips. Free samples, of course, included.
