  • At Homesteads, you won’t necessarily know if someone has a disability or not- and that’s how we roll!

    We all work equally and we expect you to treat people equally when at the farm

    . As we seek to be a safe, welcoming home to all people, please be mindful of diversity, equity & inclusion. This may look like explaining to children that we are simply ”people” - regardless of ability level.

    We welcome you to take photos while visiting, please tag us on social media!

    If you are seeking to use our venue for a photoshoot, please contact Alexis@HomesteadsforHope.org or at 585.352.4673 Ext. 109 for permission, scheduled time and donation fee.

  • We are a farm, so obviously we love animals, we request you keep your furry friends on a leash and supervised at all times.

    Not all of our patrons at the farm are comfortable with dogs. As much as you love your dog, someone else may not - please keep this in mind and be conscious of who we support here at Homesteads!

    Dogs and other household pets are not welcome near the animal pen, so please be advised and keep your pet partner close!

    Please be respectful if a staff member asks you to bring your pet home.
