Frequently Asked Dragonfly Farm Questions
Q: Can we visit the farm?
A: Yes!! We encourage everyone to come and walk around the farm, bring a picnic, easel, camera, and well behaved animals on leashes. We do have ducks running around and the garden is fragile, so it is mandatory that all animals are on leashes and that children are attended at all times. For more information on hours and location.
