I strongly recommend you call ahead to make sure the farm is open and their hours fit your busy schedules. Many of these places are not in our immediate area and some have websites without updated information. I'd hate for you to haul the kids in the car and drive out East only to find the farm closed. A fun family event that would not make (she wrote in her best yoda impersonation).
