In fact, we recommend that you wait until the morning of the day of your tour. One thing that we have learned in over 30 years of providing farm tours is that weather forecasts are usually wrong and that most often the weather is always fine for tours. Weather predictions change, (often!) and we want to give you the opportunity to have the tour, so we do not allow weather-related cancellations or rescheduling until 3 pm the day before your tour. If you do cancel\/reschedule your event prior to the day of your tour, you will be required to pay a rescheduling fee of $50 and you would forfeit your $75 deposit.<\/p><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>50% + chance of rain:<\/strong> If there is a 50%+ chance of rain starting 2 hours before, during or after your tour shown on the hourly forecast for our zip code at 3 pm the day before your tour on weather.com you may reschedule your tour with no rescheduling fees. Your deposit will carry over to the rescheduled date.<\/p><\/blockquote><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Less than a 50% chance of rain:<\/strong> We will mutually discuss and agree to proceed, reschedule or cancel your tour utilizing the fee structure outlined above.<\/p><\/blockquote><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Proceed\/postpone due to weather options:<\/strong> It is agreed that <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/\" target=\"_new\">www.weather.com<\/a> is the tool used to verify weather percentages. Simply visit <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/\" target=\"_new\">www.weather.com<\/a> at 3 pm the day before your tour, put in our zip code 07930 and click hour by hour. This is the only tool we use to predict the weather. We always recommend that you wait until the morning of your event prior to making any rescheduling or cancellation decisions.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>We continuously monitor the local and regional radar and can give you very good and current advice as to what we expect the weather to be here in Chester at the time of your tour.
