We wanted to briefly discuss our strategy for keeping everyone healthy regarding any Covid 19 concerns. These guidelines are largely based upon those set forth by the CDC. First and foremost let us clarify that this is an entirely outdoors or open air environment under the barns with excellent opportunities to keep yourselves at a safe distance. However, despite the ability to space yourselves properly, if you are not comfortable being around others we would strongly encourage you to visit the farm throughout the week rather than the weekend or delay your visit altogether until the pandemic has passed . . . as we cannot guarantee anyone’s safety from Covid.
Our requests for our visitors are as follows:
1. Please keep yourselves appropriately spaced from those not within your party while on the premises. Given that this is an outdoor environment if we can all stay at a comfortable spacing we do not currently require mask wearing. We would like to keep it that way if possible. 🙂
2. In an effort to reduce congestion while checking out PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO THE REGISTERS WITH YOU if that is an option. If one parent could keep the children out of that area while the other checked out we would greatly appreciate it . . . our staff is going to be interacting with quite a few people and we want them to do so safely.
3. And lastly if you are feeling ill, symptomatic, or have been around someone with Covid within the last 7 days please delay your visit to the farm for another time.
I know how frustrating this year has been for so many of us. And we really feel that an outdoor activity is exactly what most of us need! However, we would like to do so in a safe and wise manner. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration! Have a nice day!

Photographers! For safety reasons we do not allow public use of our fields for photography until the opening of the Christmas season. In 2020 we are offering our facilities to professional photographers only during the specific dates of Saturday, November 21st through Wednesday, November 25th. We kindly ask that professional photographers do not schedule any sessions on either side of those dates. This is not only for safety reasons but also to minimize potential interruptions with other visitors on the farm. There will be absolutely no exceptions to these dates. We ask that you keep all session locations to the common areas near the barns or the fields with Christmas trees . . . please do not go to areas outside of these. Additionally please respect our hours of operation on these dates and be 100% certain you have enough time to complete your sessions and still exit the premises prior to closing time. We greatly appreciate your interest in using our farm for your photography. Thank you for recognizing that this is a busy time for us and respecting our policies.
