Hours of Operation
The McGhee Foundation is open Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. While Farmer's Delight Plantation is not yet open to the public, we do welcome visitors for private tours. If you wish to review the grounds as a potential location for your next special event, or you are a garden enthusiast who wishes to stroll around, or even if you are simply curious, we encourage you to come see for yourself what makes Farmer's Delight such a hidden gem.

Please contact us in advance of your visit, so that we may make the appropriate arrangements. Please let us know if you require any assistance during your visit.

Friends of Farmer's Delight are granted year-round access to the grounds with the display of a membership decal. For information on how to enjoy this and other benefits of being a Friend of Farmer's Delight, please visit our 'Become a Member' page.

Guided Tours
Guided tours by a staff member are usually available Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00 PM. On occasion, weekend guided tours can be arranged, but only with ample advanced notice. Tours are not available on federal holidays when The McGhee Foundation offices are closed. The grounds are also closed to the public for private events. Be sure to check our calendar of events before planning your visit.

Also please note that the majority of the Manor House is not open for tours, due to ongoing restoration projects. However, the recently renovated North Wing first floor can be viewed during guided tours upon request.

We look forward to seeing you soon at Farmer's Delight Plantation!

Parking
The front parking lot, which used to be the McGhees' tennis court, is located in front of the McGhee Library. Upon entering the drive, turn left into the lot's hidden entrance to the left of the circle. A sign at the turn guides your way.

Overflow parking for special events include a gravel lot, accessible by the farm entrance, and the old riding paddock fields between the feed barn and the pine grove. Valet parking is available during most special events at Farmer's Delight.
