Dress accordingly, this is a farm with lots of friendly animals
Wear boots or shoes that you do not mind getting dirty
The amount of food you bring determines the extent of animal interaction, there is no such thing as ‘too much’
Most common foods to bring:
-animal crackers, bread, whole and cut fruit: apples, pears, grapes, berries, lettuce, cabbage, celery, bananas, whole and baby carrots…
Do not cut all of your fruit and veggies, leave some whole for the big animals - it is easier to feed them
