Around The Farm – What You Need to Know

WE’RE OPEN DURING COVID

For 45 years, NCOF has prided itself on being open every day during daylight hours with no admission fee for your visits and purchases. Our grounds remain open.  We hope to keep them that way! Please help us enforce social distancing and safety.

FACE MASKS ARE REQUIRED & GIVE EACH OTHER SPACE

Per Governor Baker, if you are two years old or older,  you are required to wear a face mask while visiting.
Additionally, keep six feet away from all staff and visitors. We have a small crew caring for all our plants, animals, and structures.  Please give crew members enough room to safely do their work. Do not touch animals, tools, equipment, machines, or gates. Wipe down anything your child(ren) accidentally touch(es).

PARKING

We have a limited number of spaces on our driveway. Nice weather tends to bring out more visitors than we have spaces. If you are able, please consider parking at Memorial School and walking over. Note: We tend to have less visitors in the afternoons.

FOLLOW FARM RULES

No running, shouting, or entering the animal enclosures or the greenhouses.
Please respect our tenants’ privacy.
The picnic tables, barn, and buildings are now closed.
Videos of piglets and chicks will be posted regularly on NCOF social media so that you can still enjoy them.

WHAT’S OPEN & AVAILABLE

Our composting toilet is open and our barn-side sink is on. Please bring your own hand sanitizer and do not enter the farmhouse.
Our public programs and academic pod programs are running so be mindful of the groups when visiting.

The outdoor market stand is open for purchases next to our workshop. We take cash and check.
What we have for sale is out on the stand.
Our hens are laying so we have plenty of eggs! Please buy meat from our online store.

Thanks for checking in. We hope that you’re taking care of yourself, being kind to one another, and looking out for your neighbors. We’ll do our best to keep on farming! To view our Covid-19 response policy click here.

Your Friends at Natick Community Organic Farm
