Interested in learning more about the high tech scavenger hunt known as geocaching? At Up Yonda Farm you can learn how to use a GPS and go exploring for hidden treasure. If you already have a GPS, but aren't sure how to use it, bring it with you and we will help you figure it out. If you don't have one, GPS units can also be rented for use at Up Yonda. Weather permitting; add to the fun by snowshoeing around the property as you search! A limited number of GPS units are available on a first come first served basis.
