Cost, Tips, & Rules:

COST:
$10/car will get you into all the farms! Purchase tickets online (print & bring with you) or wrist bands will be sold at each farm the day of Tour. All money go towards producing the 2025 Monadnock Farm Tour.

TIPS:
- Bring cash, credit cards, and a cooler! Farms will be selling a host of products, snacks, clothing, and more! Some are cash only, others take venmo and debit cards. The cooler is to keep your food purchases fresh.

- Plan on visiting two or three farms

- After petting animals, please take time to use hand sanitizer provided at each farm

- Wear shoes - no open-toed sandals. You have no idea what you might step in! AND farms may ask you to disinfect your shoes to prevent farm-to-farm transmission of germs.

- Bring sunscreen, hats, bug spray, and water

RULES:

No pets allowed, no visiting farms after or before Tour hours, no entering farm homes.

The 2024 Monadnock Farm Tour is produced by the Monadnock Farm and Community Coalition and the Monadnock Food Coop.
