Visitor & Driver Tips
Prior to visiting Tim Graber Farms, all drivers and contractors are strongly advised to contact management by phone to confirm access arrangements, drop-off locations, and designated staging spots on the property. When approaching from Wayland Road during seasonal harvest periods or winter conditions, exercise caution around slow-moving machinery and adjust speeds for unpaved farm lanes. GPS navigation accurately identifies 3349 Wayland Road, but drivers operating oversize trailers should plan approach angles carefully to ensure smooth transitions from the two-lane roadway onto the gravel apron.
