Honestly, we love showing people our farm. It’s such a delight to be able to farm this way. Get us talking about plants, compost, soil health and baby animals and we’ll tell you anything you want to know - and we'll be happy to learn from you too.
What we've realized, is that showing people the farm takes time. Touring means we aren't fixing fences, delivering orders, or even keeping up with our administrative work. In order to facilitate tour requests, we’ve settled on the following ways for people to get in-depth tours of the farm:
Support our Farm with a Meat Order: $150
Right now, our focus is pasture raised-meat and so when people come and support us by buying our product. Our minimum meat purchase for a tour is $150. You can arrange what you'd like to buy ahead of time so it's ready to go and to ensure we have it in stock.
Private Paid Tour: $60
You might not be a meat eater but you still might really want to see some really cute calves, or you have a relative visiting and want to show them something really neat, just book a private tour to see what we are up to.
Free Tours! -
Once or twice a year, we will commit to running a free tour of the farm. Facebook is our primary communication avenue, so check back often to see when our next one might be.
Here are some things you might want to know about a farm tour:
- Private tours are capped at an hour.
- Please bring appropriate footwear. Mud, manure, thorns, gravel, sticks are all realities here.
- Make sure to do a tick check when you get back home. We have ticks - mostly the kind that don’t carry Lyme disease but you should check regardless.
- Our farm is not the most accessible place. The ground is uneven and the hills are steep. Please keep this is mind when booking.
- We can accept EMT or cash (or credit card with fees) but it must be paid in advance.
- We do not run a petting zoo. A cow may let you pet it, but it is unlikely. Surprisingly, the pigs may be more willing, but they too just want your food, not your snuggles. There are farms that are more hands-on that we can refer you to.
- We will do our best to keep you safe on the tour and we try to only keep animals that are relatively docile. But farms are risky places, and you agree that by going a tour that you are entering into that risky space.
- Tours are best done late Spring to mid-Fall. The farm still runs in other times but gets a whole lot more muddy and it's not as fun to show you it.
