1. 1.Visit during farmers market hours (check their schedule) to combine farm activities with fresh produce shopping and often additional vendors or food trucks
2. 2.Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get dirty,this is a working farm and kids will want to get hands-on
3. 3.Bring sunscreen and hats as much of the farm is outdoors with limited shade, especially during summer months
4. 4.Check their event calendar before visiting for special programming like harvest festivals, planting days, or educational workshops that enhance the experience
5. 5.Visit on Thursday afternoons for the longest open hours and fewer weekend crowds

Spring through fall offers the best experience when gardens are thriving and outdoor activities are most enjoyable. Weekday afternoons (Wednesday-Thursday) tend to be quieter than weekends. Late morning visits allow you to explore before afternoon heat while still catching active farm hours.

Admission is free, though some special programs may have fees. Parking is available on-site. The venue is closed Mondays and Tuesdays, with limited Sunday hours (12-4 PM).

Spring and summer feature abundant gardens and regular farmers markets. Fall brings harvest activities and pumpkin-related events. Winter hours may be more limited, so call ahead during colder months. Many outdoor activities are weather-dependent.
