What to Wear
The weather can be unpredictable. You want to make sure and dress for the occasion. Our suggestions are comfortable clothing and footwear that can handle mud, gravel and uneven terrain. Even if its dry when you visit, if we’ve had persistent rains in the week leading up to your visit, you will most likely be navigating around puddles and some mud. Your best Tennis Shoes, flip flops, dress shoes and high heels are a bad idea on the farm!
What to Bring
What you bring will depend on what you want to do and what the weather is like. We recommend bringing bug repellent & sunscreen. On a rainy day, be sure and bring your umbrella and boots, as well as a rain slicker and possibly some towels to wipe off mud and dry off before getting back in your vehicle.
Food & Drink
Some days we have local food trucks. Check facebook for dates. Modoc Gardens does not sell food & drinks. You are welcome to bring food and nonalcoholic beverages and partake in our picnic area. Please be kind to the environment and dispose of all trash properly.
Special Needs
Since this is a natural terrain event, there are areas that may not be accessible by mobility scooters or wheelchairs (if there has been a lot of rain some areas may be too soft/muddy).

Safety
We strive to provide a fun experience for all ages. We are a working farm and do have uneven terrain, equipment on grounds, and private/employee only areas; please watch your step, and refrain from climbing on/using equipment and entering private/roped off areas.
