• HOW IT WORKS

We are currently sold out, but those who purchased passes should keep digital or printed receipt for entry. Prepared local food items will be available for purchase from the grill (also sold out) or you are welcome to bring your own picnic at our first farm stop of the day. Here you will receive a brochure for the day with map and other important info. After lunch and announcements, drivers head to the next farm ALL TOGETHER! There will be a lead car and a sweep car to help, but it is up to each driver to get to the next farm by the time the tour begins. There will only be one tour per farm and registered guests will be able to tour all the farms! A printed brochure, map, and cell support will be available throughout the tour. Please note that cell reception is never guaranteed while visiting these wonderful, small, and rural farms.
