Yes. However we have found it necessary to charge a small registration deposit to insure people who register show up. Space is very limited and we never have enough room for everyone. This fee is refunded to you in cash once you check in at the beginning of the tour. If for any reason you need to cancel, as long as it is 48hrs prior to the start of the tour, we will refund you in full.
What is your Birds, Bees, Bats, & Trees initiative? How can we help?
Planet Earth is now in its 6th mass extinction event. Many of our birds, bees, bats, & trees are on the short list and our farm has become a refuge. This community supported initiative helps us to continue providing habitat, appropriate food, & clean water for the critters that we all depend upon. Find more details about how you can help HERE, or make a donation or purchase a habitat box on the tour day.
