Are there restrooms available, and are they ADA?

Yes the farm has standard porta potty, bathrooms and an ADA porta will be on site along with a handwashing station.

What should you wear/bring?

This is a Rain or Shine Event. Please wear closed toe shoes as the fields and walking areas are unpaved. We suggest you consider the weather temperatures/forecast to ensure the optimal protection (sunscreen/bug spray/hats/etc.) Cash is preferred, most vendors will accept other forms of payment.

Is there parking and what type?
