Open Weather Permitting

Just a reminder that we sometimes have to close the gate into our fields if we get a lot of rain & also if we would get enough snow that has to be plowed. The lanes down in the fields would be closed until they have drained off or we get them plowed out, depending on the case.

Rain is actually worse than snow in most instances. Last year we had to close the lane until about 3:00 in the afternoon on one day & all day on another. We have sandy ground and the water soaks away in a few hours after it stops raining, so we are never closed for very long. We thank you for your patience on those rainy days.

After a rain, there are usually water puddles in the lane. We greatly appreciate it if you would straddle the puddles or drive around them if possible. Every time someone’s tires go through a puddle, it gets a little deeper, and we would soon have a very rough roadway. It doesn’t matter what type of vehicle you have, we do not want vehicles driving through puddles, cutting the lane up for others. We and everyone arriving after you appreciate your not driving through puddles very much.

If you are thinking of coming on a rainy day, it is always best to call first to see if the lane is open.

We do have a few Christmas trees not too far from our Craft Shop which you could walk to if the lane is closed. However, some of the trees are a mile from the Craft Shop. It is always better to come the day before a predicted storm or the day after the storm.
