Tips for a Great Tour

What to expect, bring, and avoid for an amazing experience at the Kaw Valley Farm Tour.

  • Although we love our pets, they are not allowed on the farm tour for safety reasons.

    Please respect the farm rules and do not bring your dogs on the tour!

    We hope you stay safe and have fun!

  • Tour hours are: Saturday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. | Sunday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

  • We would love for everyone to visit all 33 Farms and 6 Heritage Sites on the tour this year, but realistically, you will only be able to see 4 or 5 farms per day.

    Browse through each Farm’s listing here for more information to help you choose your destinations.

    Remember that the tour locations are spread across the Kaw Valley! Plan your route with the help of our digital map.

  • The event is rain or shine.  Come prepared with what you might need.

    Some secondary roads may not be paved.

  • Plan your route with our digital map so you can visit as many farms as possible.  A realistic goal is to visit four or five farms per day. 

    Keep in mind that cell phone and internet services can be unreliable outside of major cities. Look for roadside signs to direct you as you approach a farm.

  • Many farms will sell fresh produce or seasonal items that you can bring home.

    Also, be sure to pack your own water & snacks. Some farms will have these items for sale, but it’s always good to be prepared just in case they run out!
