Extra notes!

  • Pets are NOT allowed
  • Please bring your own lunch/drinks
  • Please take any garbage home with you (we have no facilities at the farm for garbage)
  • Best to wear closed toe shoes for walking around
  • Be prepared for the weather! This is an outdoor event
  • Children are welcome but must be supervised at all times

Why are we doing this event?

  • We have not run an in person event since before Covid! We want to see people!
  • We would like to see more people involved in the local food movement – this may inspire you or give you information you may not have known about other opportunities
  • People ask to tour the farm but it is too time consuming for us to do that one family at a time!  This way we can dedicate time to sharing where we live.

Will there be spawn for sale?

  • We will have some outdoor kits/materials available for sale
  • If you wish to pre-order spawn, just let us know via email (info@fungiakuafo.com) and we can let you know what is available.
