The Visitor acknowledges and understands that visiting the farm involves activities conducted on rural land, including but not limited to, interaction with animals, outdoor activities, and exploring natural and agricultural environments. The Visitor acknowledges that these activities carry inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to, accidents, falls, bites, and exposure to allergens.

The Visitor voluntarily assumes all risks associated with their visit to the farm, including any injury, illness, damage, or loss that may result. The Visitor acknowledges that outdoor spaces might present rustic, rugged, and weathered elements, including splinters, rust, holes, spikes, dead branches, machinery, and other things common to forests, farms, and rural areas, and therefore voluntarily assumes all risks associated with their presence in this environment.

In consideration of being allowed to visit the farm, the Visitor hereby releases, waives, discharges, and covenants not to sue the Owners, their officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, volunteers, and affiliates (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by the Visitor, whether caused by the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, while on the farm property or in any activity related thereto.
