>> surfaced paths.  Strollers and wagons can be brought on premises but the
>> ground (like any farm) can be bumpy in spots.

>> On weekends, no food or drinks are allowed to be brought onto the farm.
>> Food and baked goods are for sale at our Barnyard Grill and The Sweet
>> Shoppe.  No alcohol is allowed on the farm at any time.
>> Weather:
>> We strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all our guest.
>> If it is raining or our farm is muddy we are usually closed.  The 
>> decision
>> to be open or closed is on a day-by-day basis depending upon the 
>> conditions
>> at the farm.  An announcement regarding any weather closure will be 
>> recorded
>> on our Farm Hotline and posted here online.
>> Attire:
>> Because we operate in September and October, we recommend being prepared 
>> for
>> cool weather. We also recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
>> Remember that you will be in a farm atmosphere and should dress
>> appropriately for the best experience.
>> Busy Times:
>> Keep in mind that weekends  are our busiest times.  You may want to plan 
>> to
>> visit the farm on weekdays from 3 - 7 pm or on weekends between 10 am - 
>> 12
>> pm if you are looking for a smaller crowd.
>> Farm Barynard:
>> We ask that you do not eat while in the barnyard.  Please use hand 
>> santizer
>> or our portable handwashing station before leaving the barnyard area, 
>> and
>> only feed the food provided in our coin operated dispensers because our
>> animals are on a special diet.
>> Corn Maze:
>> Please don't throw or pick the corn.   We ask that you don't run in the 
>> corn
>> maze and stay on the paths.   Remember, smoking is not allowed on the 
>> farm
