Where do they start?: Hand milking, the walking plow and the farm tours all start at Farm Tours & Experiences, number 35 on the Fair map. Please arrive a few minutes early. The orchard tour meets at the orchard at 4:00 PM: the orchard tour page has the map pin.
Do I need a Fair ticket too?: No. Admission to the Fair is free. Each vehicle needs a parking pass, good all three days.
Do they fill up?: They can. Hand milking and the walking plow take 10 people a day, and each farm tour takes 25. Times that are full say so here, and the booking sheet shows what’s still open.
What about a VIP pass?: The VIP Experience pass includes one of each of the four, at no extra charge. When you buy it, you choose the day and time of each, and your places are held. Children with you need their own tickets.
How do I get my tickets?: After checkout, add each ticket to Apple Wallet or download a PDF, then keep it on your phone or print it.

Friday through Sunday

Admission to the Fair is free; each vehicle needs a parking pass.
