Open Farm Days at Chatsworth Farm FAQs
Q: What should I bring?
A: Dress for the farm, with closed-toed shoes, layers, and a hat (good for sun AND rain!), and water bottles. Also: face mask, hand sanitizer (we’ll have some but it’s always a good idea to have your own), sunscreen, insect repellent, and a lunch or snack including beverage and picnic blanket, which you can enjoy while picnicking in our pasture (limited food/beverages will be available on-site)
Q: How much does it cost?
A: We are happy to be offering free guided tours of our farm! We will have a pop-up farm stand stocked with farm-raised beef, lamb, eggs, and produce, so if you’re interested, bring cash and a cooler for any purchases.
Q: Can I bring my pet? S/he’s very well behaved!
A: No. For our animals' health and safety, and the health and safety of all participants, please leave your pets at home.
Q: Where are you located?
A: Our farm is northwest of the town of Vermilion. Click here to find the Google maps location and follow the Open Farm Days signs.
Q: What can I expect during the Open Farm Days visit at your farm?
A: Have you watched our Virtual Farm Tours? You'll get that experience, and so much more! Engage all of your senses on our 45-minute guided tours. Registration is required (and free) and spots are limited!
Q: Will there be toilets and hand-wash stations available on site?
A: Yes, there will be portable washrooms and sanitation stations on site. Handicapped access units will be available as well.
Q: Can I smoke, or consume alcohol or cannabis, while attending Open Farm Days?
A: No. Smoking is not permitted on the farm and there are no designated smoking areas on the property; the risk of fire with straw and hay bales, machinery, and fuel on the premises is great. The consumption of alcohol and cannabis are also not permitted.
Q: Are there drinking water refill stations on site?
A: Yes, get the full farm experience and fill your bottles at our hydrant with fresh cool well water!
Q: Where can I park my car/van/truck?
A: We'll have designated parking areas so please follow the signs and parking directors upon arrival.
Q: What if I’m not feeling well on the morning of Saturday, August 14th, but I’ve registered to attend?
