- Look for wooden observation decks for a better view and a peek at where you are going.
- Don’t get lost! (and be ready to get lost).
- Plan for the weather. These farms normally operate on weather permitting.
- Bring a water bottle as you may get thirsty with all that walking!
- Don’t forget these things – bug spray, sunscreen, good walking shoes, comfortable clothes, flashlight and/or glow sticks for night walks and walkie-talkies if you have a big group.
