Our Pledge to You~Updated 11/15/2020
- Our Farmhands are trained in CDC guidelines for hand washing and sanitizing and and everyone who handles food — in the field, in the packing barn, or in the market.
- Masks are required inside our buildings for guests 5 years of age and older. Our team will wear a face covering in customer facing positions.
- All Farmhands certify that they are temperature and symptom free before each shift.
- Frequently touched surfaces are sanitized regularly during operation.
- We will support social distancing by offering walking or driving to pick your own locations and wagon ride farm tours will require guests to wear masks.
- We will provide hand washing/sanitizing options before entering the field for our farmhands and PYO guests.
- We will provide new containers for pick-your-own to ensure a single use for safety.
- Social Distancing is required. We ask groups to remain at least 6ft apart when picking and playing at the farm.
- Our CSA Farm Shares will be packed in single-use liner bags, which will be sealed with tamper-evident tape. That way, members can be sure their food has been touched by only the picker and the packer.
Your Pledge to Us
- Social distancing and sanitation guidelines protect you, as well as our other patrons and employees, and you agree to take responsibility for social distancing your family from other groups while visiting.
- If you are sick, have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days, or have symptoms of COVID-19 (including a fever, cough, or shortness of breath), you will stay at home and will not enter the Farm Market or PYO Fields.
- You will heed VA. Governor Northam’s Mask Mandate and wear a face covering inside our buildings unless you meet one of the Governor’s health exemptions. This now includes all guests ages 5 and older. Parents agree to help their children properly wear a mask.
- For weekend tickets, you agree to arrive on time and complete your visit within your 3 hour ticket window so we can meet guest limitation requirements outlined by our Governor’s Orders on days that tickets are sold out.
- You agree to wash/sanitize your hands and assist your children in doing so prior to and after picking produce and frequently while visiting the play area.
- You agree to not sample any fruit in the field to comply with the guidelines from the Virginia Department of Agriculture.
