Below is some general information to help make your farm experience as safe and fun as possible. Please be sure to read carefully and ask our friendly staff any additional questions you may have.

DOES JULIAN FARM AND ORCHARD ALLOW PETS?

Well behaved leashed dogs are allowed on the farm.  Dogs must remain on pathways and outside of the crop areas.  Pet owners are expected to clean up after their pets. There is a handwashing station next to the porta potties in the front part of the farm. Our full Animal Policy can be found here.

 

DO YOU HAVE RESTROOMS?

Porta Potties and hand washing stations are located near the Animal Sanctuary.

 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Please wear closed-toed shoes to protect your toes. Additionally, bring hats, sunglasses, umbrellas, sunscreen, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (this is a farm and it’s bound to happen).  We recommend checking the daily weather prior to your visit. Julian's climate varies greatly season to season.

 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME DURING MY VISIT?

Bring a picnic. We have plenty of shaded tables throughout the property and relaxing common areas for you to enjoy.  

 

Strollers are welcome although they may be difficult to push around our farm as pathways are not entirely smooth and may pose a challenge for stroller wheels.
