Per ADA guidelines, ONLY service animals are allowed. Service animals DO NOT include emotional support or companion animals, animals in strollers, or animals being carried. Thank you for your cooperation.
We welcome and decorate the farm each year to provide backdrops for your photography. Professional photographers must purchase a season pass (one time purchase) to be used as their location fee. Any support staff can purchase a season pass or a one time general admission. Photographers are not permitted to bring in stationary props, block the flow of traffic, or disrupt the workings of the farm. It is the photographer’s responsibility to ensure their clients know that they must pay admission to the farm regardless of the time of their session. All photography must be during our regular business hours as posted on our website and will follow any closings as needed for weather.
Hand-sanitizing stations and hand-washing sinks are available and we always recommend washing hands after visiting the animals. Entering the animals enclosures is not allowed.
For the safety of everyone, smoking (including e-cigarettes and vaping) is prohibited throughout the farm
Limited basic assistance is offered as a convenience to our guests while on the farm. It is not intended to replace professional medical care. Personal medical devices such as inhalers and epi-pens are recommended to be on people (including within field trips) at all times, as there may be environmental triggers on the farm. These devices are not available from first aid. Incidents will be documented on an incident report, but that is NOT intended as any type of agreement between parties.
Tate Farms closely monitors local weather conditions to help ensure the safety of our guests and staff. Please be aware that the farm does not have a safety/tornado shelter.
If severe or inclement weather is expected, guests may be advised to seek shelter elsewhere. Tate Farms reserves the right to close the farm or temporarily suspend activities when necessary for safety. Refunds are not given due to inclement weather.
For safety reasons, certain attractions or activities may be temporarily closed or unavailable during inclement weather.
