Are you a farm stand or a farm experience?
Both! We’re a 20-acre working family farm with an onsite farm stand open Thursday–Sunday, 10:30am–5pm. You’ll find fresh produce, flowers, honey, and more.
During spring, summer, and fall, we also host seasonal festivals featuring crops like strawberries, watermelon, pumpkins, and flowers—plus tractor rides, live music, food, and U-Pick experiences.

Are you organic?
We follow Responsible Farming Methods, with food safety as our top priority. We primarily use organically approved materials, but may occasionally use low-grade synthetics if a crop is at risk. We are not certified organic. Learn more on our Responsible Farming Methods page.
Can we eat strawberries in the field?
We ask that you take your strawberries home and wash them before eating to remove any dust or pests.
Is the farm accessible for strollers or guests with mobility needs?
We are a working farm with uneven dirt and gravel surfaces. We offer limited handicap parking and ADA-compliant portable restrooms.
If walking long distances is difficult, tractor rides (when available) are a great way to see the farm. Our staff is happy to assist—just ask!
Are tractor rides always available?
Not always. Our tractor is used for farm work during the week, but we typically offer rides on weekends (April–October). Please check ahead to confirm availability.
Do you allow photography?
Casual photography with phones or handheld cameras is welcome (no tripods). Professional photography is only permitted with prior booking through us.
We also offer scheduled photographer days—check our website to book a session.
Can I bring a drone?
No. Drones and all remotely controlled flying devices are strictly prohibited.
Are dogs allowed?
Leashed dogs are welcome in the farm stand and patio areas only. Pets are not allowed in the fields for food safety reasons.
Service animals* are permitted in designated areas—please speak with our staff for guidance.
*Service animals are working animals, and the work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. While we understand this is difficult in some situations, we appreciate your understanding.
Is food and drink available?
Our farm stand always offers fresh produce, honey, and snacks. During festival weekends, we also feature our Botanical Bar (Farm-Crafted Lemonades, local wine & beer, etc.), food trucks, and local vendors. Check our website or contact us for event details.
What happens if it rains?
We’re usually open rain or shine, as long as it’s safe. Severe weather may impact activities like U-Pick or tractor rides, so please check ahead before visiting.
Is parking available?
Yes! We have a large gravel lot. Parking is free during the week and $5 during weekend festivals.
Do you offer field trips or private tours?
Yes! We love sharing our passion for farming and offer educational field trips, private tours, and custom events for families or teams. Check out the tabs above, or contact us to plan your experience. (Info@MellanoFarmStand.com)
