Farm Rules & FAQ
Thank you for keeping our farm safe and clean!Farm Rules
We ask that you please:
- Stay home if you have symptoms of COVID-19
- Keep 2m between you, other guests and staff
- Please don't bring food from home - you can buy a ploughman's lunch plate to enjoy at our private picnic table site area. No outside food is permitted on the farm.
- Children are welcome and should be supervised - we've found that they love to help harvest and can play in the mazes or go for a wagon or train ride
- Please leave your dogs and other pets at home. It is too hot to leave them in your vehicle and they are not allowed onsite.
- No smoking or vaping onsite.
