Health and Saftey Policy

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ENTERING

The health and safety of our guests is our top priority. We have implemented several measures that you will see at our Animal Farm which are each designed to protect White Post Farms guests and employees from potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus (“Coronavirus”), by minimizing contacts and increasing sanitation throughout the Farm.

In addition, to further protect the health and safety of our guests and employees, you will not be allowed to enter the farm if within the past fourteen (14) days you have:

  • Tested positive or have been deemed presumptively positive with the Coronavirus;
  • Sought testing to determine whether you might have the Coronavirus, and have not yet received the results;
  • Been informed that you may have been exposed to Coronavirus or learned that you have been in the immediate vicinity of a person now known to have been carrying the Coronavirus; or
  • Experienced any of the following symptoms commonly associated with the Coronavirus, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, OR two or more of any of the following: fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.

White Post Farms reserves the right to modify these requirements on a case-by-case basis to accommodate any circumstance that in White Post Farms sole discretion warrants a modification to this policy.

White Post Farms cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to Coronavirus during your visit. The CDC advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from Coronavirus. Guests should evaluate their own risk in determining whether to attend. People who show no symptoms can spread Coronavirus if they are infected, any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to Coronavirus. By coming to the farm, you acknowledge and agree that you assume these inherent risks associated with attendance.

If at any time White Post Farms determines that a guest does not meet the criteria outlined in this policy, White Post Farms reserves the right to refuse entry or (if the guest is already in the farm) immediately remove the guest from the farm with no refunds given. These actions are at the sole discretion of White Post Farms.
