What clothing should I wear?
Casual, weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy, closed-toed shoes
or boots are advised.
What if it rains the day of my tour?
Farm tours are weather dependent, but it takes severe weather
to alarm these farmers.
Do the animals bite, kick or scratch?
The Verdant View farm animals are generally quite tame, but caution
should be exercised in approaching any animal. Cows don't have
teeth on their top gums, so they don't have the capacity to bite....but
you could get a "cowlick"! Geese and swans can be very
protective of their young, so don't get the goose's gander up.
Please ask your tour guide for further guidance on picking up
any of the other small farm animals.
Are there accommodations to stay
overnight at the farm?
Verdant View Farm also
offers a Bed & Breakfast for overnight lodging. In business since
1967, it is one of the longest-running B&Bs in Lancaster County.

View Farm tours, school groups are a perfect fit.
