Before you go

  • Check that it is open. Look at the farm website: hours and crops change with the weather.
  • Bring cash and a card. Some farms take only one.
  • Water, sun protection and closed-toe shoes.
  • A sturdy basket or box, if the farm allows your own
  • Gloves for prickly vines
  • A cooler for sweet corn and tomatoes
  • Ask about pets before you bring a dog.
