  • Check the farm's website or social media for weather updates before visiting, as the Fall Fun Festival may close due to inclement weather.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes suitable for a working farm environment, as paths can be uneven and potentially muddy.
  • If you plan to shop at the Farm Market, Barn Grill, or Donut Hut, or take a hayride, admission is not required.
  • Consider purchasing a Season Pass if you plan to visit multiple times throughout the fall season for cost savings.
