Here are a few recommendations to make your visit more enjoyable as you wander our highways and byways:
  • Cash is needed at many locations. ATMs are noted on the map directory.
  • Refer to the map directory for gas stations, restrooms, wheelchair accessible venues, those that accept credit cards, and places of interest for children.
  • Dress for the weather as it's often cooler here in the Hilltowns. Sneakers are your best bet for footwear.
  • Bring a cooler along to preserve any perishables you purchase.
  • Safety is your responsibility. Please use common sense around farm animals, farm equipment, and all private property. The participating farmers and artisans, as well as Helderberg Hilltowns Association, cannot be held liable for discomfort or injuries that might occur.
  • Please leave your pets at home.
