Please note that Schreiber's Farm is a primitive site. The camping area is accessible by vehicle, but the access to the main event area from the camping area is over a large footbridge; all food and equipment will have to be brought into the main area by hand truck or wagon. Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own tables, chairs and potable water. We will have some water on site; however, it needs to be carried in. There are no showers onsite but there is a river with a small swimming hole; there are no lifeguards so swimming is at your own risk. As no electricity will be available, those cooking will be responsible for maintaining their own coolers. There are several stores and supermarkets nearby to replenish supplies as needed.
