Photography at the Farmstead
We may be biased, but we think our property is a photographer's playground.
We encourage guests to take photos while they are here for public events and love partnering with local photographers for private sessions and styled shoots.
We kindly ask that you tag us in any photos and social media using @rootedfarmstead and our hashtag #rootedfarmstead

Photography during public events is permitted (and encouraged!). Regular admission is required for all guests, clients, photographers, and staff. No session Private Session Fees apply.
Private Sessions
All Private Sessions must be scheduled, approved and paid for in advance.
Sessions are not considered Approved until the appointment has been confirmed by Rooted Farmstead, fees have been paid and signed Photography Policy and Agreement is received.

PHOTOGRAPHY POLICIES
These policies apply to ALL individuals, professional and not, taking photos on the farm.
Access: Access to the property is only during public events and approved private appointments. Do not directly enter any planting beds or otherwise disturb flowers, vegetation, crops, displays, etc.
Parking: Photographers and their guests must park in designated areas. Do not block roads, buildings, driveways or farm equipment.

General Policies
- Be respectful and aware of the natural environment, equipment, other people, crops and our home.
- Nothing may be picked and used during your session, unless paid for in advance. If you damage any flowers, crops, etc. you are expected to purchase them. Damaged crops hurt our small family business and will prevent us from offering this opportunity in the future.
- Children must be supervised at all times. Any damaged crops are expected to be paid for by the photographer.
- No areas may be closed or blocked to other visitors during a public event.
- Stay off all equipment including and not limited to tractors, ladders, etc.
- Do not enter the residence, neighboring properties, other farm structures, sheds, etc.
- Do not enter or place anything in planting beds or soil.
- No smoking or chewing tobacco is permitted on the property
- No glitter, confetti, rice, silly string, fake flower petals, fake snow or other “tossing” items may be used. This is a nightmare to clean, contaminates our soil and is a danger to our animals.
- Well-behaved dogs are allowed during Private Sessions, but must remain on-leash at all times and must be closely monitored to ensure they do not enter planting beds. Again, any damaged crops are expected to be paid for by the photographer. Waste must be removed & disposed of properly.
- Rooted Farmstead reserves the right to halt any photography sessions deemed disruptive during public events.
- We reserve the right to use publicly posted photographs taken on our property for commercial purposes of our own.
