Field Days & Workshops

All Known & Grown Field Days occur rain or shine. Please dress for the weather and the terrain. Many Field Days include walking through tall grasses or fields, on uneven or muddy surfaces, around equipment and in a range of weather conditions.

We recommend that you bring:

• Close-toed shoes (comfortable for walking)
• Sun protection (cap or hat, sunscreen)
• Water bottle 
• Rain jacket or poncho (depending on the forecast)
• Personal snacks (While we will try to accommodate food allergies and dietary restrictions, we cannot guarantee this at every event.)
• Your family (Children are welcome with adults! Please be mindful of the dangers on a working farm, including electric fence, difficult terrain, animals and equipment.)

Please DO NOT bring:

• Dogs or other pets (service dogs, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, are permitted)
• Professional camera or recording equipment, photos for personal use are acceptable
• Promotional materials or solicitations, unless you are invited to do so

We ask for special attention to biosecurity at events with livestock. While this is good practice at all farms, clean shoes and clothes are particularly important due to the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and other livestock pathogens.

Wear clean shoes or boots that have not been worn on other farms with livestock or livestock buildings, or around a dense population of wild birds. Upon request of the farmer host, you may be asked to disinfect shoes or boots upon arrival. Wear clean clothes that have not been worn around other livestock.
