Our farm is largely wheelchair accessible, with wide pathways around the market gardens, access ramps, and accessible toilets. Please note some market garden pathways are too narrow for wheelchairs, and gravel areas may be slippery or muddy after rain. We recommend wheelchair users visit with a support person. Please let us know if anyone in your group has accessibility needs so we can adapt the excursion to suit.
