FAQs

•  INSURANCE REGULATIONS, we have signed an agreement with our insurance company that we do not allow outside dogs/pets (other than trained service dogs) on our property.
• FOOD SAFETY - Lavender is grown in close proximity to the ground and is a high risk crop for contamination.  Contact with animals increases the risk of contamination of our lavender. Therefore, not even service dogs are allowed in the lavender fields
• CUSTOMER SAFETY - We have many boarders, riding lesson clients, photography clients as well as visitors to the farm. Dogs will be dogs, and no matter how well trained, dog bites, dog fights and other unpleasant contacts with other customers can sometimes be problematic. Some folks may be allergic to your dog.
• FARM ANIMAL SAFETY - Strange dogs will stress and terrify our farm animals and it could affect egg and meat production. Remember, at the farm there are horses, sheep, pigs and chickens. To our farm animals, your dog is a stray animal (coyote, coy wolf, bobcat). We need our own farm dog to alert us when there is a stray animal on the farm. if there were stray animals (outside dogs) always coming on to her territory, she would be complacent and wouldn't alert us or protect the farm animals. Your dog may carry bacteria/germs that may make our farm animals ill.
• HEALTH AND SAFETY OF YOUR DOG - It’s important to be aware that farm animals (even those that have been vaccinated) can sometimes carry harmful germs that can cause a variety of illnesses in people and animals (dogs/pets).  Farm animals can kick or bite. We wouldn't want to see your pet/dog get sick or hurt.

Therefore no dogs/pets (other than trained service dogs) are allowed on the farm property.

Only TRAINED SERVICE DOGS are allowed.
Trained service dogs are allowed, however service dogs are not allowed in the lavender fields or near our farm animals. The work or task a service dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.  We ask that the owner of the service dog put the service dog vest on the dog that identifies that dog as a service dog and warns the public about not touching the animal. Owner must clean up after their dog. The owner of any service dog that causes a threatening disturbance can legally be asked to remove the dog from our property. As stated in the Federal American Disability Act, Emotional support Dogs are not considered a Service dog.

Please leave your dogs/pets at home.
