Sunflower Experience and fall activities at Phillips Farms of Cary

Phillips Farms of Cary, at 6701 Good Hope Church Road, Cary, is planning a fun fall season on the farm. They’ve made some changes to make it safer for this year, but there will still be a wide variety of fall activities going on.

They detailed their plans in this Facebook post.

Their Facebook page is the best place for updates.

Safety Modifications

The farm is encouraging social distancing at the farm by limiting the number of people and breaking their busiest days into sessions.
While we are not requiring face masks, they are encouraging it when social distancing is not possible.
They have eliminated certain activities at our farm this season such as the corn box and bounce houses that would be hazardous.
They have added 14 sanitizing stations around the farm and are encouraging people to use them after any contact with shared surfaces or people outside of their family/group.
They are also training their team on increased cleaning and sanitation efforts for all farm equipment and activities area
They are following all guidelines set by the NC Dept. of Agriculture in regards to COVID-19.
They are asking for people to please be patient as we work through the best practices to effectively manage our farm this Fall season in a safe way that still allows for the farm fresh fun experience that people expect and love.
