Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if it rains?

The event proceeds rain or shine. If rain seems likely, bring appropriate rainwear.

What should I wear?

It can be dry, hot and sunny in the Shenendoah Valley in July, so bring a sunhat and wear comfortable shoes. We'll be hiking around a good bit of Polyface's acreage.

Can I bring my child?

Nursing infants can be carried. Other children, however, disrupt attendees who have travelled far to learn at this event, so they can't attend. Also, as the entire farm staff is focused on teaching, having your children or family members wander the farm isn't safe or allowed. There are many things to do in the region, however.

I have other questions. Who do I call?

Please call Acres U.S.A. at 1-800-355-5313 or email info@acresusa.com. Do not call Polyface Farm. They're all too busy farming and preparing for your arrival to sit by the phone. We've worked with Joel for many years and either know the answer to your question or will find out for you.
