Directions to Boitsfort Valley Farm
Submitted by Kassey on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 11:04am.FYI: Map Quest has got the directions wrong.
These are the directions: I-5 South.
Exit 77 Raymond/ Pe Ell, go Right onto Route 6 (WEST).
About 7 miles, go LEFT onto Curtis Hill Road.
Up and over the hill, come to a stop sign.
Left onto Boistfort Road.
First farm on right.
It is recommended that you are suited up BEFORE you get out of the car. THere is very little places to suit up that are clean. Bring a strong garbage bag to hold your dirty clothes.
Again, Boistfort Valley Farm is not a kid friendly clean up work party.
