Frequently Asked Questions
-
How safe are the farms on the tour?
Going on our tours is a very safe option for folks with mobility. These are working farms, so we do give everyone the warning that they must be alert and stay with the tour guides always.
-
Will there be bathrooms?
Because our farms will vary from day to day, we can't guarantee bathrooms at every stop. There will at least two bathroom stops along the way (one at the beginning, and one at a central farm). If it is an emergency, let your guide know. You'll find that farmers are very accommodating people and usually have a hidden outhouse somewhere on their farm.
