YOU’RE THE DRIVER
This is a drive-yourself style farm tour! Starting farm address will be sent via email to ticket holders. Brochures with directions, map overview, and farm info will be given at check in.
Having a designated and trusted navigator beside the driver is recommended. We will be in rural areas where service and GPS routes need to be accompanied by attention and written directions, not just following the person in front of you.
PIT STOPS & RESTROOMS
We recommend using bathrooms before arrival. We will also have a few pit stops suggestions listed in the brochure located between farms. There is bathroom at Stovall Inn (but shoes off if it's muddy please).
BRING SOME SNACKS… & PLENTY OF WATER
While we will be around farms, we are not expecting substantial prepared foods for purchase this time. Feel free to bring some snacks or even pack a picnic to enjoy after the final tour. Don’t forget your blanket!
