What to Wear
The weather can be unpredictable. You want to make sure and dress for the occasion. Our suggestions are comfortable clothing and footwear that can handle mud, gravel and uneven terrain. Even if its dry when you visit, if we’ve had persistent rains in the week leading up to your visit, you will most likely be navigating around puddles and some mud. Your best Tennis Shoes, flip flops, dress shoes and high heels are a bad idea on the farm!

What you bring will depend on what you want to do and what the weather is like. We recommend bringing bug repellent & sunscreen. On a rainy day, be sure and bring your umbrella and boots, as well as a rain slicker and possibly some towels to wipe off mud and dry off before getting back in your vehicle.
