Tips & Advice
- Choose a Shepherd's Journey package if you want the sheep-meadow wagon ride, since it bundles the ride and a take-home craft or wreath kit with everything else.
- Stay into the evening for the Final Manger Scene, which has its own tickets, and walk the mile-long outdoor Christmas light display.
- Dress for the weather, because the manger scene is indoors but the lawn games, light display and wagon ride are all outside.
- Leave time for the Farm Store, which has handmade gifts from over 100 artisans plus Amish baked goods, jams, and fresh cracked and candied pecans.
- Bring a gift for the Living Christmas Tree gift station, since those gifts go to people in need locally and internationally.
