-In the event of extreme weather (e.g. a snow day that closes schools, an emergency declared by the Town or Commonwealth), we will postpone your event.

Student Supervision:
- You and your designated chaperones are responsible for all student supervision and ensuring the children are adhering to our farm rules - this protects both your students and our livestock. We allow up to 4 teachers/chaperones free of charge per class/~20 students.

- This is a working farm, please be respectful of your surroundings and of the hardworking staff, please limit cell phone use, music and disruptive behavior.
Parking is limited on the farm, please carpool if you can.

Trash Removal:
-If you are staying at the farm for snack or lunch, please ensure students pick up and dispose of all trash.

-Do not feed leftover food to our animals, and do not permit your students to do so. This poses a significant risk to the animals’ health.
