Families can wander the grounds at their own pace during business hours.

In October, the farm is open Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is $14 per person, with free entry for children 12 months and younger.

Tickets are sold on arrival; cash and cards are accepted, though card payments carry a 4% fee.

Admission drops to $7 on the first Thursday of each month, except in July and August.

Year-round field trips offer schools and groups another way to experience the farm.
