Professional Photography/Videography Policies

Photographers must purchase a non-refundable but fully reschedulable pass which allows them to schedule photo sessions at the farm. This pass covers entry and site fees for only the photographer.

The photography pass is valid for one day use but allows you the opportunity to schedule unlimited sessions that day. Please remember, solicitation of others at the farm for any photography services is strictly prohibited.

Photography and videography equipment including camera(s), bag(s), lenses & tripods are allowed. All equipment must be able to be carried in by hand or wagon provided by photographer as motorized vehicle access is not permitted inside the facility. Props, scenes building, sets, reflectors, light stands, and all other photography equipment etc. are prohibited so as not to interfere with other guest experience. Use of staged props and photography sets provided by the farm is permitted as long as you are considerate of other guests and do not monopolize the area so other guests and photographers may also enjoy use and access too.

Photo Passes are only available to purchase online in advance. Be aware that hours of operation vary throughout our year so verify before booking.

Everyone involved in the photo shoot, including dogs, will need an admission ticket to enter. Admission ticket prices vary by date and demand, but we suggest your clients purchase them online in advance for the best price.

Photographers/Videographers and their clients should check-in at the main admissions gate with their tickets ready to scan.

Any picked tulips, strawberries, sunflowers, pumpkins, etc. must be paid for as they are not included with your Photography Pass or guest admission. It is only fair that everyone be respectful of our own personal hard work and financial investments to grow the crops and create the beautiful scenery that is being enjoyed at the farm. Pay for what is picked, even if it was an accident. We kindly ask you to also advise all everyone involved with the shoot of the u-pick you-pay policy.

Do not pick or damage any flowers, natural vegetation or other plant materials in our landscaped areas. Do not walk-through, climb-on or otherwise damage crops in fields, crops in containers, landscaped areas, including trees and flowerbeds. Adequate walking paths have been placed to avoid the need to stand-in or cut-across crops in the field. Remind clients to refrain from kicking/throwing rocks, mulch and sticks.

Fencing, rocks, ropes and other barriers between you and animals or non-public areas of the Farm are there to protect you and guests from harm. Do not enter non-public areas.

Friendly pooches are now permitted to visit throughout our season to enjoy a special outing with their family to the farm. Dogs must remain on a non-retractable leash at all times. For health and safety reasons, dogs are not permitted in Lucky's Barnyard Petting Pen, the Adventure Aviary, the Bunny Barn, the Strawberry Patch, in the corn box, or on the jump pad. It is your clients responsibility to ensure their dog is not aggressive towards other people or animals. As with any public space, dog owners are responsible for picking up and disposing of any pet waste immediately. Dog owners will be required to sign a waiver upon entry agreeing to take full legal and financial responsibility for their dogs behavior and actions including any injury or damage caused by their dog. There is a $10 admission fee per dog, a portion of which is donated to our local animal rescue. Admission tickets for dogs will be available in the online ticketing system and at the gate. Pets may not be kept in cars in our parking lots. We reserve the right to have dog owners remove their dogs from the premises for any reason at any time.

Drones are strictly prohibited from use on the farm property. Should we host a special date/time for drone operators to visit then the event will be placed on our upcoming events list and require a special ticket to be purchased in advance. A Photography Pass will not cover entry to designated Drone Days.

• Please be polite and respectful to all farm guests (clients or not) at all times. Do not monopolize our staged photo op areas or ask other guests to move from areas they are exploring.
• If scheduling a shoot later in the day then plan accordingly so that you are finished at least 15-minutes prior to closing. If arranging for clients to arrive late in the day, then advise them they will have little to no time to explore and participate in park activities and attractions to avoid disappointment.
