Please don’t drive down the neighbors private road behind the barn even if your GPS tells you to. Enter at the farm entry very clearly marked with a HUGE sign and 8 foot tall plywood llama.
3. Check open hours posted on website or facebook page then text to arrange a visit DURING those open hours. Please don’t just drop in. Farmer Mary likes to know when people are coming so she can be available near the gate. Please don’t text “can we come Thursday?” PLEASE BE SPECIFIC to avoid endless back and forth texts. For example you could text “group of five moms and six kids this Thursday at noon for picnic lunch and tour?” Farmer Mary is busy and cannot chat on the phone. YOU will be very happy if she doesn’t spend all her time on the phone while YOU are visiting.
4. BRING FOOD FOR FEEDING THE ANIMALS! Short list is saltines, wheat crackers, wheat bread, kale, greens, cereal (any), carrots, celery, apples, grapes. Farmer Mary sometimes has sleeves of crackers, cereal or corn in baggies available for sale. You will have more fun with more animal food! If you choose to not bring animal food and choose to not buy animal food please DO NOT allow your children to mooch animal food from other visitors.
Thank you for supporting a small local farm family.
