Note: Beware, Google is up to more sleazy tricks:

1. If you see any links that look like this   (Text surrounded by a blue oval and a little icon on the left)
   I DID NOT put those there - they are inserted by Google Chrome Browser and there is nothing I, nor any other website, can do to block them! It should be illegal! It's more of Google's corporate GREED crap. At the moment, Edge browser is a better option...
2. Google's AI search answers - it MAKES UP NONSENSE. Also beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!
