IMPORTANT FARM TOUR GUIDELINES
- Picnic Area -
If you would like to bring lunch or purchase food
from our vendors, picnic tables are available
on a first come, first served basis. You are welcome
to bring blankets to sit on in the event no tables
are available. You may also wish to bring handi-wipes
for the children.
- Dress Code -
Please ask parents to dress children appropriately.
The farm is generally cooler and muddier than
other place because of the open fields.
- Farm Market
- is open for everyone to enjoy! We sell farm
fresh fruits and veggies, fresh-baked cookies,
donuts, pies, and candy, in addition to many gift
items. When visiting our market, we require that
each group of children have adequate adult supervision.
- Behavior Problems
- Farm staff may ask children who are behaving
in an unsafe manner to wait for his/her group
on the bus or at other designated location. Please
remember that it is the responsibility of the
group leaders and chaperones to supervise the
children in their group.
- Please bring bags pre-printed
with children's names for their pumpkins.
- In event of inclement weather
please call 215-968-1670 to cancel or re-schedule
your tour.
