Planning to Visit After Labour Day?
Our regular daily encounters ran through September 5, 2026. After that date, the farm transitions out of its summer schedule and public encounters are no longer available.
However, if you have a group of 4 or more people and are flexible on a morning date, we do offer a limited number of private encounters by arrangement through the autumn. These are personally coordinated with the owners and subject to farm availability — not available on demand.
If that sounds like your group, learn more and get in touch here.
