FARM TOURS

 

Throughout the year, many of our customers (and prospective customers) have inquired about farm tours.

 

Here is how we do it: We want to make your visit a memorable and enjoyable experience - something you'll fondly recall for many years to come. We put a great deal of thought and effort into preparing for every tour we give and that means we like to schedule farm tours at least a week in advance. That's also helpful because it allows us to carve out a block of time in our busy work schedule so we can give you our undivided attention.

 

 
     

Tours include

  • A short introduction to the farm - given at the house.

  • A visit with the Jersey bottle calves and lambs born this spring.

  • A short walk to the barn where you can see the horses, the chickens, and the Jersey cows.

  • If you prefer not to walk, we can provide motorized transportation to the barn.

  • Time to purchase our meat, books, and botanicals.

 

FEES

Adults: $10 each

Children under age 12: $5 each

 

If you purchase Greenwood Farms products, we will give you a discount to offset the amount of your tour fee. We can give the best attention to groups of 6 or fewer people. If you have a larger group that would like a tour, please call us to discuss the details.

 

   

What to WeaR

Clothing: Be sure to dress for the outdoors (i.e. clothes that will keep you warm/cool and that you won't mind getting animal kisses on). Most of the tour will be on gravel paths, but you will be walking in short grass from time to time, so if you wear shorts in the summer, you may wish to use insect/tick repellant to keep yourself bug-free.

 

Shoes: Wear shoes that protect your feet and that you don't mind getting a little dirty. Hiking boots or tennis shoes are preferable - sandals, crocs, or flip-flops aren't recommended.

 

Other Suggestions: We also advise sunscreen and insect/tick repellent during the summer months. A ball cap or hat with a brim may also come in handy. Bring your camera. Most of our animals are more than happy to have their pictures taken.

 

 

 

THE RULES OF THE ROAD

  • Please arrive on time. We have made a special place in our day for your tour and (barring emergencies) we may not be able to give you a full tour if you arrive late.

  • We want everyone who comes to Greenwood Farms to have a safe and happy visit. To that end, well behaved children are always welcome, but behavior that puts your child, other tour members, or our animals at risk will result in a termination of the tour, at our discretion.

  • Since we have four large dogs living on the farm already, we ask that you don't bring your own pets with you.

  • If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call us at 800-253-6574.
