IMPORTANT INFO FOR EVENTS

What to bring, what not to bring . . .

​

To ensure a safe & enjoyable experience for all guests, staff, & animals:

​

-  Disruptive, unsafe, or verbally or physically abusive behavior toward guests, staff, or animals will result in immediate removal without refund.

 

 - No firearms, weapons, or outside animals permitted.

 

 - PLEASE CONTACT US IN ADVANCE BEFORE BRINGING A SERVICE ANIMAL. Our livestock guardian dogs will see another animal, especially a dog, as a threat, which could cause injury to you, your dog, our staff, or another visitor.

​

 - Follow all posted signage.

 

 - Suggestions: wear farm-appropriate clothing & bring low-sitting chairs and/or blanket to sit on, sunscreen, bug repellent, hat, sunglasses.

 

 - We will have drinks & snacks available, but you are welcome to bring your own for your personal consumption.

 

- FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT FEED ANIMALS. We will have 25-cent feed dispensers available for rabbits & waterfowl ONLY. It is best NOT TO FEED the kunekune pigs, the goats, the dogs, or the sheep. These animals are quite large and are very motivated by food. If they think you have food, they can get very physical in demanding you feed them and someone WILL GET INJURED. So for your safety as well as others, DO NOT FEED ANY ANIMALS except for the rabbits & waterfowl, and then ONLY using the food provided in the dispensers.
