Frequently Asked Questions
The Farm is Cashless
Yes. Any credit or debit card with the Visa or Mastercard logo can be accepted. However prepaid cards have rules and issues that we can not control. We can not verify the balance of any outside gift card. If a card does not have enough remaining funds to charge for a transaction the card will simply return a "Declined" error. We can accept partial payment from the remaining balance on a pre-paid card and finish with another credit or debit card.
