Children
We LOVE it when children visit, and families enjoy the farm experience together... that's part of the fun right??!
When it is not fun... when unsupervised children unknowingly cause harm to other humans, animals (including our chickens and pets) and our orchard, berry bushes and crop fields. You know your child. If your underage child needs constant supervision or if you have other children under your care that you do not know well enough, they must remain with you at all times and be supervised in their activities on our farm. You are responsible for their actions. Yes, we could put them on full-time hard labor (kidding)... but you still have to bring them home.
