  • Remember that when you visit a farm, you are a welcome visitor. Like many farms, it is both the family's home and business. Respect their property;

  • Read and obey all signs. Follow directions about where and what to pick;

  • Supervise children at all times and be careful around ponds and other bodies of water;

  • Wear shoes, shirts and other proper clothing at all times;

  • Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a sunscreen and a hat;

  • Leave all pets at home;

  • Be sure to place all litter in the proper trash receptacles;

  • Keep head, arms, hands and legs inside when riding in farm wagons. Remain seated until the wagon stops;

  • Enjoy yourself and have fun!

DO NOT:

  • Enter buildings that are not open to the public;

  • Throw or damage produce;

  • Climb on or touch farm tools and equipment. Many machines have sharp edges and moving parts;

  • Climb trees or step on fruits and vegetables in the field;

  • Frighten or hurt farm animals.
