Visiting the farm
Most producers in this directory have products available at farm-gate (purchases on their farm). Before getting ready to go see the farm, make sure you look over these guidelines.
Call ahead: Wherever possible, call ahead to confirm your visit. If you have pre-arranged a visit make sure you show up on time. Note: Some farmers in the directory do not have telephones. Check their listing for when they are open at farm gate.
Respect directions of signs and farm staff: This goes for parking cars, touching animals, and picking produce as well as where you can walk and drive.
Ask before taking pictures: Some people like having their pictures taken, others do not. Just ask and they will let you know.
Ask before feeding or petting animals: This can save your fingers and the farmer’s time in dealing with sick animals.
When going to more than one farm per day, talk to the host before entering animal facilities or crop areas.
