​
Patina Meadow is a working farm and animal habitat with growing crops and living animals. There are various buildings and structures you may be invited to enter and others that are not part of your Event/Activity. You will refrain from entering any structure unless permitted to do so by a Patina representative and you will voluntarily depart as requested to do so by a Patina representative. The ground and surfaces between, in, and among the structures, fields, and fences may be of differing material, uneven,soft, rocky, or deceptively steep. You may encounter trip and fall hazards or various equipment and tools while on the premises or other hazards traveling to or from it, so please take care, watch your step, or ask for assistance.
​
You may encounter all manner of dirt and soil; flowers and plantings including, but not limited to peanuts; animals (farm & domestic); insects (scary & not); water, sunlight, rain, heat or cold temperatures and you must protect yourself as you see fit. Most Events or Activities are intended to last approximately 2 hours with many activities or viewing occurring outdoors. Please apply any sunscreen or repellant before your arrival. Patina Meadow strives to utilize as few chemical products as practicable and asks that you not bring additional chemicals to the property.
​
Proper attire for a farm is advised. Please wear comfortable, flat, durable, closed toe shoes with non slip soles. Try to avoid platforms, heels, slippery soles, or uncomfortable footwear. Clothing should be appropriate for walking and moving around other people, plants, animals, insects, equipment, and tools.

There are limited opportunities for those with disabilities, but Patina Home will endeavor to provide some access to portions of the premises, if practicable.

​
If you have any fears or allergies to plants, animals, insects, pottery or anything else, you may want to reconsider your participation.

By engaging in the Event or Activity, you agree to be exposed to plants, animals, insects, and the elements as well as dust, dander, waste, drift, and odors in and around the property. We make pottery on-site, so please know you may encounter materials associated with that process as well.

There may be limited restroom facilities during the Event or Activity, but you are again advised this is not public property, nor a public event. You may be permitted to enter the property owners’ home and, if you do, we ask you to treat their property as private and with respect. You are not permitted to help yourself to the refrigerator, bathroom, closets, bed, or any other private areas inside the cabin.
​
Please do not remove any items, materials, or things (living or otherwise) from the premises and please remove everything you brought with you when you leave. Please follow the directions of the Patina representatives and, when it is time to leave, we request that you do so in an orderly fashion.

Please touch or handle only that which a Patina representative expressly allows you to touch or handle. Please try not to scare or excite the animals, plants, or insects, nor the Patina representative, or any other participants.
