Thank you for purchasing this incredible package filled with farm-fresh goodness for the entire family.  Make sure to refer to the back of this letter for your itinerary schedule.

As you can see, you have received two tickets: a round-trip rail ticket (VALID FOR WEEKEND TRAVEL ONLY) and a special event ticket marked “FARM FRESH”.

To get to the Farm Fresh bus that will be your transportation throughout the day, take Metro-North’s Hudson Line to Beacon Station.  Give the conductor your rail ticket to punch and give back to you.  Make sure to hold onto your rail ticket for the return trip home.

When you get to the station, follow the signs to the bus area and look for the loop bus stop.  Your bus will be the one with the sign that reads “DUTCHESS COUNTY FARM FRESH”.

When you board the bus, simply give the driver your special event ticket marked “FARM FRESH”.

The Link meets the train leaving Grand Central Terminal at 8:47 a.m., arriving Beacon 10:10 a.m. For the return trip, the Link brings you back to Beacon Station to connect with the 5:57 p.m. train, arriving Grand Central Terminal at 7:21 p.m.
