What you need to know
We love sharing our farm with you. To keep our dairy goats, pigs, chickens, and ducks safe from outside germs, we practice strict biosecurity. Think of it as a specialized health shield for our animals.
Please read before you arrive
These guidelines are simple, but they matter. A single pair of shoes can carry disease from another farm onto ours, and our herds have no way to protect themselves from it. Following them keeps every animal here healthy.
Before You Arrive
- Appointments only: all visits must be scheduled ahead of time. No drop-ins, please.
- Wear clean clothes: please arrive in freshly washed clothes and footwear.
- The 24-hour pig rule: visitors must not have been around other hogs or swine facilities for 24 hours beforehand.
- Leave pets at home: please leave all dogs and personal pets at home to prevent stress and disease transmission.
- Dress for success: wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes or mud boots.
When You Arrive
- Park in the gravel lot: park only in our designated visitor parking lot. Do not drive on pastures.
- Use the footbath: step into our disinfectant footbaths at the entry gates to clean your shoe soles.
- Wash your hands: use our washing stations before and after touching any animals or enclosures.
Out in the Barnyard
- No outside food: please don’t feed our animals any treats, scraps, or outside food.
- Stay in visitor zones: keep to the designated walking paths unless a farm team member is with you.
- Look, don’t reach: every enclosure is best enjoyed from the outside.
Who you’ll say hello to
Dairy Goats
Known for their playful personalities, our goats produce the delicious milk behind every bottle of kefir and jar of yogurt.
Heritage Hogs
Our Berkshire and Duroc pigs love to root and nap. They are curious about visitors, which is exactly why the fence matters.
Laying Hens & Ducks
Our birds provide fresh farm eggs and patrol the yard for bugs all season long.
