Plan Your Visit
When planning your tour, please note:
Carpooling is highly-encouraged and appreciated!
For farms’ biosecurity and the safety of livestock, pets are NOT allowed on tours. If traveling with pets, keep them safely in your vehicle at all times. Service animals that are (1) trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability and (2) under the control of their handler at all times, are welcome.
Many factors affect farm accessibility. Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and/or special needs who contact jeffcofarmtour@gmail.com at least two weeks in advance.
