Directions to Applewood Farm

Note:  Using Mapquest and/or GPS is not recommended for the following reasons:  Mapquest will get you to Applewood but by a very circuitous route.  Your GPS will get you to an incorrect address because the the mail box numbers on our road are sequentially incorrect.  When your GPS says that "you have arrived" you need to go 2 mailboxes further to the hairpin turn.  Applewood is on the right.

Having said that, the directions below are provided for your convenience and will successfully bring you to Applewood Farm.
