Our Guide For A Successful Farm Trail Weekend
It is highly unlikely you will make it to all the stops – and that is ok! Pick your favorites to fully enjoy your day.
For their comfort and safety, please leave your pets at home as they are not allowed on farms or ranches.
Beat the crowds and get an early start each day to cover more ground!
Pack it out, please limit trash and take it with you.
Wear comfortable and durable walking shoes, open-toed shoes are not recommended on the farms.
GPS is your best friend and look for our Farm Trail Weekend Signs.
Mix it up! There is no order to the Farm Trail Weekend. Feel free to follow your own path.
Part of the fun is to buy farm-fresh items, so bring an ice chest to keep your tasty treasures nice and cool!
