Policies, Donations, & FAQ's
Pet Policy
For the safety of our customers, your pet, and our staff, we kindly ask that pets be kept at home.
Only Service Animals as defined by Title II and Title III of the ADA will be allowed on the farm and in the building. Due to FDA’s Food Modernization Safety Act, a service animal cannot be admitted to the U-Pic Apple Orchard: A service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.
Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA.
*Dogs may attend on designated K-9's at Kuipers days*
Food Policy
We do not allow outside food and drinks at the farm.
Children’s snacks and water bottles are permitted, but food must be limited to snacks.
The farm does not have water refill stations but water is available to purchase at locations around the farm.
Guests are not allowed to bring meals, coolers, or picnic baskets into the farm. If you wish to bring food to the farm, picnicking in the parking lot is permitted, but must be done so safely and all garbage must be disposed of properly.
Picnic tables are reserved for customers who have purchased food from the farm.
Photography & Drone Policy
During the Spring and Fall seasons professional photographers are welcome to purchase the regular admission tickets for themselves and their clients in order to access the grounds for photos, but large props cannot be brought in, and no special arrangements will be made to secure private areas.
Photographers must share all property with all guests, and may not shoot in one location for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Drones use is prohibited on the farm during regular business hours. After hours access for drone photography may be granted for a fee or in exchange for marketing materials with approval. Please contact us by emailing Sam@kuipersfamilyfarm.com to discuss permission and arrangements.
Donation Policy
The Kuipers family believes in returning some of that good fortune to our community.
Our farm and orchard have grown each year due to the continued patronage of our surrounding communities.
Though we do not offer donations of or discounted pricing on pumpkins, apples, baked goods or gift baskets, we do offer donations of FunFarm admission tickets that can be used for prizes or raffle items to charitable events that occur between April-June and September-October. Due to an overwhelming number of donation requests received each year, we have a limited number of tickets available for donation.
For consideration, please submit the official advertisement for the charitable event through the form below.
