Garden Ground Rules

The Creative Kitchen Garden is intended to be a space of nourishment, renewal and community for all people. We ask that all visitors follow our Garden Ground rules so that we can best honor the land and each other.

• Please drive very slowly and watch for chickens, dogs, and people.

• The garden gates must be closed at all times. Always make sure the gate is closed securely behind you. If the chickens get inside the garden, they will cause extreme damage to the crops and kill plants.

• Take care of provided you-pick supplies.

• There are many farm animals at the farm including free-ranging chickens, goats, cows, and dogs. Please observe them from a distance, and never feed, chase or touch the animals. This is for your safety and theirs.

• No dogs are allowed. There is no shade in the parking area, do not leave them in your car.

• You are entering someone’s home. People live on the farm and in the building adjacent to the garden space. Please be respectful with noise and language when in the garden.

• Do not enter any building, at any time.

• Kids must be with an adult at all times. The garden is a place of wonder and exploration for kids, please just make sure you stick together.

• Only walk in paths and be gentle on the plants

• Please only pick what you’re invited to pick

• Be kind to each other. If you see someone else in or around the garden, say hello and be courteous.

• Help one another out! If you see someone else in the garden that could use a hand, or some guidance, please support one another.

• Leave things as you found them, make sure any compost is placed in the compost bin, and take any trash out with you.

• Support a culture of respect, open communication, and shared commitment to providing a safe and welcoming space for all members. This means that language and behavior rooted in discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other identities will not be tolerated in the garden.
