Go in the morning
Morning light gives the best views and dryer conditions for walking between plots; cupping sessions are often fresher earlier in the day.

Terraces and dirt tracks can be uneven and a little slippery—sturdy shoes improve comfort during hands‑on harvesting.
Bring a refillable bottle
Small hikes and outdoor stations make hydration necessary; the farm provides refreshments but carrying your own bottle saves plastic.
Notify dietary or mobility needs
The experience includes lunch and some physical tasks; inform hosts in advance if you need a specific meal or reduced activity.
