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.
