All Visitors are Welcome at Factor e Farm
Visits
To further public education, participation, hands on experience and still achieve our facility goals, we offer facility tours. Due to the volume of visitors, we are reserving Saturday afternoons for this purpose. Our rate is $500 for the afternoon per group, regardless of the number of people visiting. True Fans are not required to pay for these tours. We may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Once made, the fee is non-refundable.
Work Day Visit
Another option is Work Day Group visits, also on Saturdays, where instead of paying for a tour, the group pays a $50 fee - and puts in an afternoon of work. We do lunch together, and then 4 hours of work. This Work Day ends by 5 PM and the tour begins. Work days and tours must be confirmed with payment 2 weeks in advance.
Work Day
Another option is Work Days, also on Saturdays, where the $50 fee is waived - and the person or group puts in a full day of work. Lunch is provided, and we encourage that you bring food to share. This Work Day visit ends by 5 PM and a tour begins.
