This means not having to run to Dunkin' Donuts to grab a coffee or remember to pack a lunch or running to a nearby restaurant for food (which there aren’t very many of). Your ticket includes amazing sessions, great food, farm experiences, products from the farm, and even a custom booklet to take notes.
