Can I visit, walk on, or drive through the farm?
The Farm in Jones Valley is private property. Casual or unannounced visits are not permitted. Please do not enter the property without explicit permission.
We are actively working to steward the land responsibly, and unplanned access can interfere with farm operations and safety.

Is photography allowed?
Photography is welcome from public rights-of-way only, such as sidewalks or areas outside the property boundary.
On-farm photography is not permitted without prior, express consent. This includes professional, recreational, commercial, or drone photography. These boundaries help protect privacy, safety, and ongoing farm operations.
Are educational visits offered?
Limited educational visits may be offered by appointment only and must be scheduled in advance. These visits are limited and structured to ensure safety, minimize disruption to farm operations, and align with the farm’s stewardship goals.
Unannounced visits are not permitted. If you’re interested in an educational visit, please contact us through the website to inquire.
Can I volunteer or get involved?
At this time, we do not have a general volunteer program. However, we value community interest and may offer structured opportunities in the future.

Can I hunt, fish, or recreate on the farm?
No. Hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities are strictly prohibited unless explicitly authorized in writing.
Is the farm monitored?
Yes. The Farm in Jones Valley is monitored with 24/7 video surveillance, including continuous cloud-based recording. This system is in place to protect the land, equipment, livestock, and those who work on the farm. Footage may be reviewed in the event of trespassing, theft, or unsafe activity.
Are your produce, flowers, and cattle organic or non-GMO?
Our produce, flowers, and cattle are grown and managed using regenerative practices that prioritize soil health, ecological balance, animal welfare, and long-term sustainability.
Rather than adhering to certification labels, we focus on thoughtful, on-the-ground decision-making—using practices that are appropriate for each crop, field, and season. This approach allows us to care for the land, plants, and animals responsibly while responding to real-world conditions on the farm. Our goal is clean, healthy food, healthy soil, and a resilient working landscape for current and future generations.
Why do the pastures sometimes look “weedy" or overgrown?
Our pastures are managed using regenerative grazing practices, which intentionally allow grasses and plants to rest, recover, and regrow between grazing periods. Unlike monoculture pastures, manicured lawns that are kept uniformly short, or over-grazed pastures, regenerative grazing works with natural cycles and plant diversity.
At times, this means pastures may look taller, patchier, or less uniform. These variations indicate healthy root systems, improved soil structure, greater water infiltration, and better forage for cattle. Over time, this approach builds more resilient pastures, healthier soils, and healthier animals while reducing erosion and protecting the land for the long term.
Do you have flowers available year-round?
No—our cut flowers are a seasonal offering, available from early spring through the first frost in fall. All of our flowers are field-grown, and we do not currently use greenhouses or hoop houses for season extension.
We do use row covers to protect cool-season annuals, which allows us to offer blooms early in the spring.
We believe there is beauty in seasonality—both in nature and in life—with seasons of abundance and seasons of rest. Flowers help remind us of that in a simple yet profound way.
