Tips & Advice
- Carry some cash, since cards work only at the Market, everywhere else on the farm is cash only, and Apple Pay isn't accepted.
- Pick up feed bags and Yuletide Wagon ride tickets at the Market when you pay admission, so you're set before heading down into the farm.
- Check the farm's social media on stormy days, because the event closes for the night in rain or bad weather.
- Leave coolers and bagged lunches at home, since picnicking isn't allowed, and buy refreshments, baked goods or hot chocolate at the Market instead.
- Use the municipal lots across the street if the gravel lot is full, and use the crosswalk to reach the farm.
