All Visitors are Welcome at Factor e Farm
General 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. For Visits, lunch is from noon to 1 PM, followed by a tour and a 45 minute Question and Answer session with the Founder afterwards.
True Fans
True Fans are welcome to visit at any time but by appointment only. To qualify, you must have signed up as a True Fan prior to making your visit.
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. True Fans are not required to pay the fee. We do lunch together, and then 4 hours of work. Lunch is noon to 1 PM. This Work Day ends by 5 PM and a one hour tour begins. Work days and tours must be confirmed with payment 2 weeks in advance. Visitors may stay afterwards for dinner at 7 for a discussion with the Factor e Team.
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 from 9 to 5 PM. Lunch is provided, noon to 1 PM - and we encourage that you bring food to share. This Work Day visit ends by 5 PM and a tour begins. Visitors may stay for dinner at 7 PM for a discussion with the Factor e Team.
