Behavior: Etter Farm is an attraction catering to families, we expect all guests to behave in a family-friendly manner. Please walk at all times while visiting the farm. Do not sit or stand on fences or railings. Do not climb on stone walls. Respect barrier fences at all time while visiting our animals, this is for your safety. When near the animals, it is very important to not run, make any fast movements, or loud noises. This scares the animals and will cause them to make sudden movements. Guests are required to comply with all local, state and federal laws, as well as Etter Farm’s policies, rules and instructions. Unruly, disruptive or offensive behavior, and profanity, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. If our rules are not followed you will be asked to leave the property.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance to receive a refund (minus a $50 service fee). If a cancellation is made less than 2 days in advance of your booked tour, you will be given a credit (minus the service fee) towards a future Etter Farms tour.
Children: Kids are always welcome at our farm and MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times. Your Guide will be bringing you right into the animal enclsoures and pastures, so you will need to keep an eye on your little ones to keep them safe while also to make the experience less stressful on the animals.
