Two smiling farmers, a woman and a man, wearing straw hats, lean over a wooden cart filled with ripe red and yellow apples. In the background, a rustic barn and a field with cows and a goat are visible under a partly cloudy sky, evoking an autumnal harvest scene.

Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early or purchase tickets online in advance, especially for the Adventure Package, to guarantee your preferred time slot and avoid potential overcrowding.
  • Consider purchasing the Combo Package online for the best value and to experience all the festival and adventure activities.
  • Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain can be rugged and you'll be exploring the farm throughout the day.
  • Bring your own picnic lunch to enjoy the scenic views, but be aware that an admission fee or activity package purchase is required to use the picnic area.
  • Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome to join the fun, but they must stay out of the petting zoo and reptile areas.
