Frequently Asked Questions
-
We ask that you respect our no-pet policy and leave all furry friends at home. While we clearly love animals, mixing farm animals, children, and pets unfamiliar with a crowd environment can lead to unsafe situations. We do not allow exceptions even for well-trained dogs.
Service Animals are always welcome.
Looking for a new furry soulmate? Check our events schedule (coming soon) for our pet adoption days!

We do apple picking during very specific times and days, and our ability to allow apple picking on our small orchard is dependent from season to season. This season the orchard did get heavily impacted from a very bad hail storm, so we are unlikely to allow apple picking this year. Check back for updates!
