Can I smoke on the grounds?

     Because we strive to keep our farm family friendly there is no smoking on our property.  We include vaping as non-permissible.

Is the farm organic?

     No we are not.  We practice IPM (Integrated Pest Management) and never spray unnecessarily.  Our employees spend time in the orchards looking at insects, fungus, and tracking the weather.  Some insects are good for our trees and some are bad so we have to take in account how many of each before we decide to spray.  We also track leaf wetness, humidity, and temperature as these items are factors in diseases.

How old do you have to be to work at The Little Farmer?

     We will hire as young as 13 but we like to stay at 14/15 and above.  We are always looking for more adults!  Please visit our Employment page for more information.
