Who this list is for
If you’re taking your family—including young children—to stay at a working farm for two nights, this list is for you. It focuses on practical clothing and gear that can handle mud, weather, and farm activities.
How to use this list
Check with the farm stay ahead of time to see what they provide. Lay out each item for every family member and pack extras in labeled bags. Prioritize items that can get dirty and are easy to clean.
Common mistakes
Don’t pack only one set of clothes per person; farm stays are messy, and kids will need changes. Avoid shoes that aren’t waterproof or hard to clean. Don’t forget confirmation details for your stay—showing up without them can cause delays. Skip delicate fabrics or anything you wouldn’t want stained.
What is on this list
Bring your farm stay confirmation. Every adult and child should have waterproof boots and rain jackets. Adults need warm layers, long-sleeve shirts, and pants (two of each). Kids need even more: two warm layers, three long-sleeve shirts, three pairs of pants, and four spare pairs of socks each. This covers changing weather and inevitable mud.
Before you go
Label kids’ gear for easy sorting. Double-check sizing on boots and jackets. Pack a plastic bag for muddy clothes. On arrival, set up a mudroom area. When you’re home, wash everything promptly to prevent stains from setting.
