This experience is magical. If you missed it this year, well, shame on you. Make sure you prioritize it next year. Go early in the morning. No, really: EARLY. Like as soon as the sun comes up. If you wait any longer, the kids and the strollers and the professional photographers taking engagement/family/wedding/child pictures will descend and you'll have to share the magic with the hordes. So go early and soak this in. It's incredible. And then make a donation to Pope Farm Conservancy to help them keep it going.
