    Thank you for the response. I appreciate your willingness to add signage for wildlife…read moreawareness--it's a step in the right direction for the safety of guests. However, I do want to clarify that this was brought to a staff member's attention while we were on-site. Unfortunately, my concern was dismissed at the time as a harmless snake, despite the very visible characteristics of a juvenile rattlesnake--specifically, the segmented rattle at the end of the tail, which is seen in the photo attached. I completely understand that bull snakes are often confused with rattlesnakes, but this particular snake had a true rattle--not just tail mimicry. I verified this with a wildlife expert before posting, and I stand by the identification. My only goal in sharing this is to ensure that families--especially those with young children--are fully aware that rattlesnakes can be present, even in family-friendly spaces. I'm glad signage is being considered, and I truly hope it helps others stay safe.

    I've been coming here for the last 7-8yrs. Nothing tastes better than handpicked blueberries!! I…read morealways feel so blessed to have organic blueberries so close to home!

    This was our third stay with Dare 2 Dream Farms. We love the peace and tranquility of the property…read moreand the kindness of the staff and ownership. It is like staying with family. Loved it and will be back again!

    I wish I'd read the plethora of negative reviews before buying chicks from this farm. It would have…read moresaved me from a total nightmare. I paid $50-$60 per bird for 5 chickens from Dare 2 Dream Farms because I believed I was buying healthy, responsibly raised animals from a higher-standard, "organic" operation. What arrived was the opposite. The transport box itself already contained bloody stool. Before the birds were even out, there was visible evidence of serious illness. Once inside, it became clear how severe it was. These chickens were emaciated to the point of feeling skeletal, weak, huddling, and not drinking. Within hours they were deteriorating and continuing to pass blood. This was not stress. These were critically ill animals on arrival. For comparison, I also bought 3 new chicks from a different source the day before (costing ~$20 per bird). Those birds were active, chirping, eating, and thriving immediately. The contrast was stark. An independent poultry specialist confirmed what was evident: these birds were severely compromised and had been for some time. This condition does not develop during transport. Beyond the condition of the birds themselves, this created a serious biosecurity risk. I have an established, healthy, happy flock of 13 hens and 3 chicks. Introducing visibly sick birds -- with active bloody stool -- put my entire flock at risk of infection. I had to immediately isolate, treat, and manage the situation as a potential contamination event, spending the next 9 days in intensive, around-the-clock care trying to keep the new birds alive while protecting the rest of my flock. Nightmare and ethical dilemma. The response from the farm made the situation worse. The condition was initially minimized as "normal", then explanations shifted. At the same time, I was repeatedly encouraged to return the birds. I refused. Given their state, I believe they would have died if they had been sent back. They required constant intervention just to stabilize. A partial "goodwill" refund was offered while I was actively managing a severe medical situation, then a full refund was made contingent on returning the birds, and ultimately any refund was revoked. To be clear: 1. Premium price charged for supposedly high-quality birds 2. Birds arrived visibly sick, emaciated, and passing blood 3. Biohazard risk introduced to a healthy flock 4. Condition minimized rather than addressed 5. Pressure to return animals in critical condition 6. Refund offered, then withdrawn This is not a minor issue or bad luck. This is a failure of basic animal welfare and responsible husbandry. I cannot recommend this farm under any circumstances.
