2007

Any day that we are open, timeframes are 10 AM to 12 noon, 11 AM to 1 PM, 12 noon to 2 PM, 1 PM to 3 PM, 2 PM to 4 PM or 3 PM to 5 PM. Your party is scheduled for two hours, but you have 15-20 minutes to set up before your party and 30-45 minutes after your party to say good-bye, pack up and clean up your table area. We provide trash bags and ask you to clean up your area before you leave. Thank you.

Most people schedule a rain date and put both the regular party date and raindate on their invitation.  If rain is predicted the night before your party or it is raining on the day of your party, call Martha Clark at 410-440-0295 to discuss whether to have your party, or reschedule or cancel your party.  We can host your party inside if it is raining on the day of your party.  The choice is yours.  

No, just be realistic in your estimating the numbers when you complete your reservation form so that we can plan for your group’s size. There is an $85.00 minimum for each birthday party, which translates into approximately 8-10 children and 4-5 adults, depending on the party package you choose.

Do I have any other options if I just want to bring a small group for a party?

Yes, you can just come and pay the general admission and pick and choose the activities you want to do. You will not get some of the features of the regularly-scheduled party, but you will have greater flexibility and a lower cost if you just have a few children. There are non-reserved picnic tables you can use for your party.

The normal routine is that you can come 15-20 minutes before your party is scheduled to start to set up. Your guests will easily find you at your tables (the tables can be seen from the parking area). Once they are all assembled, your tour guide will begin your tour. We will take you through our part of the party (tour of the petting farm and hayride, and any of the options you have chosen: pony rides and visiting the pumpkin patch) and them deliver you back to your table. That part of the party should take between 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on the size of the group and what options you have chosen. The remaining time is for you to have snack/lunch/open presents/let the kids play etc. If you have chosen facepainting, we will do that at the beginning of the party as the children arrive.

Please pay for the party before you leave the farm. We ask that you keep a headcount of the children and adults who attend the party and once the party’s over and you have said good-bye to your guests, please come to the cash register at the store with the invoice (one was sent to you in your confirmation packet and another one will be on the table when you arrive). Tell us the number of children and adults, we will calculate what you owe, take off the deposit amount and the remainder can be paid in cash, by check or credit card.

Most people bring cake, cupcakes, juices, sodas, snacks etc from home. We will also provide you with a list of pizza restaurants that deliver to the farm and you can call and have pizza ordered. Normally, you’d want to have the pizza delivered for the last ½ hour of your party. We also sell drinks, ice cream and snacks if you need them.

Just make note of the number who do not ride and we will adjust your final cost. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot make such adjustments for our other activities. If you choose other options, such as face painting and picking pumpkins, you will need to pay for those options for all the children who attend your party.

YOU MUST PAY FOR ALL CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO COME TO YOUR PARTY
