  • 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, but unfortunately, we cannot allow dogs on the property for many reasons!

    We have two dogs on site who are being trained for service.

    Not all of our friends at the farm are comfortable with dogs. As much as you love your dog, someone else may not.

    We have had issues in the past with dogs being aggressive to the chickens and people.

Although we LOVE visitors, if your seeking a tour or to speak to someone please make an appointment! Otherwise, join us in the Store and at Events - anytime!
