Walking Directions down to farm- 

From 36th Ave there is a crosswalk to cross Johnson Creek Blvd. Then, walk to the Right/East past the mailboxes.  After a section of wooden fence you will see black chain link fence and then a gate with a sign that says ‘Jean’s Urban Farm’.  You have arrived! From 40th or 41st you will walk to the Left/West on Johnson Cr. Blvd. until you get to the black chain link fence. Please do not ever attempt to park at this gate.  It is an active driveway for the landowner.  Only foot traffic is permitted down the driveway.  Please also be sure to close the gate behind you.   Follow the gravel drive down through the woods.  You will see a sign that points to a set of stairs on the right which leads down to the farm.   Please do not continue on the driveway past this sign, as there is a private residence at the bottom of the driveway.  From the stairs, there are paths that lead to the farm.  Enjoy this magical walk, and if your visit to Jean’s Farm is scheduled in the evening hours, please bring along a flashlight or headlamp for extra light.
