Getting There
We encourage you to plan to arrive at the Jeffers Tree Farm sometime between the early afternoon/early evening on the first day of your session. Because of the remote location, it can be especially difficult to find the farm in the dark of night.
In the past, residents have shared rides, flown, and bussed into Ohio. If you are flying or taking a bus into Columbus or Athens, be sure to alert us of your arrival time so we can arrange to pick you up. If flying, please try and arrive between 12-3 pm in order us to consolidate and minimize lengthy trips to Columbus.

Planes, Trains, and Buses
We’ll pick you up in Columbus or Athens, Ohio if you let us know when you’re going to arrive. If you can get to Athens please do so, as this is a much shorter drive for our staff.
When flying the local airport is the Port Columbus International Airport-Cmh. From there you can take a shuttle, which you should schedule in advance, here.
Columbus pick-up
If you are flying or taking a bus/train into Columbus, first of all, alert us of your arrival time. As of now, we are planning to drive to Columbus a few times during the beginning and end of each session. (It is about a 2 hour drive from Columbus to the farm). This may change due to your actual needs and arrival times. We are planning around the information you provide us with.
