Please note: We kindly request no party buses, limos, or buses.

The blooming of Sunflowers depends entirely on Mother Nature, but we will keep you updated closer to the Festival as to which fields are in bloom.

Our festival days are typically very busy, so if you prefer a quieter setting, we suggest visiting on a weekday.

This is a farm with lots of land so be prepared to walk to get to different activities. We offer shaded areas at the food area and at picnic tables but we suggest bringing an umbrella if the weather is hot!

We suggest packing a water bottle. We also have Water Stations and areas to purchase water. 

We offer free parking, but it can fill up quickly so please arrive early or after 3pm to get a good spot!

The safety of our young guests is a top priority. Please keep a close eye on your children while exploring our farm. We understand the importance of safe fun, being a real working farm with bees, tractors, and animals. After all, as the saying goes: “What’s a farm without weeds and flies?!”

Festival Tickets are available for purchase at the gate only! No reservations are required.

Both of our farm locations offer free parking. Please avoid parking on any side streets including, Ryerson, Wading River Road, South Street and South Street School. 

We're big fans of dogs! They're welcome on leashes at all times.

On weekends, we've got food trucks and live music to enjoy. 

While we appreciate the thought, please refrain from bringing outside food to our farms. We've got plenty of snacks and drinks available, with even more on weekends! If it is hot, bring a water bottle.

Our animals are cherished members of our family. We take excellent care of them, providing fresh fruits and veggies daily, along with extra exercise and attention. While they love attention, please avoid feeding or petting the animals.

Some activities may not be available during your visit due to safety concerns, such as wet or sandy conditions.

We want you to have a blast! If you have any concerns or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at info@water-drinker.com. We're a local business committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Unfortunately, we don't offer refunds. Please keep an eye on the weather before visiting. Excessive heat and rain may alter the experience at the farm. We're always striving to provide the best experience possible, even if it means waiting for the perfect weather. Thank you for being a part of our Waterdrinker family!
