Curfew and Supervision

Wheeler Farm has a strict evening curfew of 10pm. All lights must be out, fires extinguished, and quiet time observed. We have neighbors – please be considerate.

Please be sure to supervise the phone and restroom. There has been misuse of the phone (false 911 calls) and vandalism in the past.

No swimming or fishing is allowed on the farm.

General Farm Safety: You are welcome to roam and see the animals, but Farm animals are not domesticated. Some kick, bite, and peck. For this reason, do not feed the animals. Barbwire fences can be found throughout the farm. Please avoid contact with them. During the Spring, Little Cottonwood Creek runs high and fast. Be aware of this and your proximity to the creek at all times. There are electric power stations that are fenced by high wooden panels. Please don’t play in or around these enclosures.
