Farm Safety & Visitor Policies

Valley Fruits & Veggies is a working farm and seasonal agritourism destination. While we do our best to provide a fun and safe experience, farm visits naturally involve changing outdoor conditions and certain inherent risks.

By visiting the farm or participating in farm activities, guests acknowledge that conditions may include uneven ground, mud, rocks, roots, crops, insects, animals, farm equipment, moving vehicles, weather, crowds, and other conditions commonly found on a working farm.

Children & Supervision

Children must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times, including in Valleyville, the Jump Pad, Barrel Train, farm animal areas, fields, mazes, hayrides, and other attractions.

Parents and guardians are responsible for determining whether an activity is appropriate for their child.

Spring Strawberries

Pick Your Own strawberry fields are active agricultural areas. Guests should expect uneven ground, plants, irrigation equipment, insects, mud, sun exposure, and changing field conditions.

Please remain in designated picking areas, supervise children, and follow staff instructions.

Crop availability depends on weather and growing conditions and may change without notice.

Summer Farm Market

The Summer Farm Market operates within an active farm environment.

Guests visiting the market, Valleyville, farm animals, ice cream areas, or other seasonal activities should remain aware of farm vehicles, natural terrain, changing conditions, and other guests.

Farm Play Areas

Valleyville, the Jump Pad, Barrel Train, and similar attractions involve physical activity and may include running, climbing, jumping, riding, and other movement.

Guests must follow all posted rules and staff instructions.

Unsafe behavior, rough play, or misuse of attractions may result in removal from the activity.

Hayrides & Farm Rides

Guests must follow staff instructions when boarding and exiting, remain seated while the vehicle is moving, and supervise children at all times.

Rides may be delayed or canceled because of weather, ground conditions, equipment conditions, or safety concerns.

Weather & Farm Conditions

Farm activities may change, pause, close early, or become unavailable because of weather, field conditions, crop conditions, maintenance, safety concerns, or other circumstances outside our control.

Availability of crops, attractions, animals, food, rides, and seasonal activities is not guaranteed.
