Service Animals
and making your visit a good one.
Service Animals
We do have some areas that service animals can access.
How reaching out in advance can help..
Although reaching out is not required. We just want you to be able to experience and enjoy our farm the best we can.
We are not your typical environment. Things to consider with your visit:
-Animals reach to Animals
-Areas that farm animals utilize often harbor environmental threats that can easily transfer to a visiting dog.
If you will be attending an event on our farm grounds please allow us to assist you in planning and access for your planned date. If we know in advance we will happily work with anyone utilizing a service dog to avoid any surprises prior to arrival and have a wonderful experience during their visit to our farm grounds.
If you have any questions or advanced planning please reach out to us at 352-279-0977.
Traveling farm grounds where our working animals are present.
When it comes to traveling our farm and farm events with a service animal it is important to be aware that the majority of our grounds unfortunately include our working animals, free ranging animals/poultry and actively used pastures of our livestock. Due to the natural predator-prey relationships and biosecurity in those areas we have had to restrict service animals from their immediate proximity. This is in the safety of all involved. We do still have some areas that would be accessible. But it is good to be aware prior to purchasing your visit that the service dog will not be able to travel everywhere. knowing this will help in organizing possible arrangements or assistance that will help insure in experiencing our farm's fullest potential.
