When entering the farm from Roast Meat Hill please pull forward past the store and park next to the chicken coop on the right. If that lot is full you can park down below behind the big red barn or in the grassy field near the solar Smart Flower. Be sure to say hello to our "Broadway Chicks" as you make your way to our store and fields.

Yes, the farm is accessible. There are dedicated parking spots behind our shoppe and the shoppe itself can be accessed with a chair. Please note however that while there are paved areas, the fields are in facts fields, so while mostly flat, you may need a bit of "push power" to navigate around the grassy areas.

Chamard Vineyards is also just a hop, skip and a jump from our farm and there's plenty of other choices in Madison and Clinton, including our favorites The Fish Tale and Clam Castle.
