Q: How long should I expect to spend at THE FARM?
A: Well, that’s up to you. You can take a leisurely stroll around the grounds, while meeting the animals and browsing the market. You can then have a seat in any of a number of locations around the property and rest or take in the sights. There is no set tour or time allotted. But as a rule of thumb, expect to spend around an hour here. More, if you have young ones…
