Lee Farms Photography Policy Effective January 2023

**Due to the large amount of photography inquiries, we are unable to staff an employee to answer photography questions; all calls, emails, direct messages will be directed to this page. Please read the following carefully and use for reference. Access to our farm grounds are subject to change without notice. We do not guarantee any access to our private property at any time. Our hours, days open and access to different parts of our farm change seasonally and will change without notice based on our family business needs. We recommend having a backup location. We operate our business on our private farm and we also live on the farm-we request respect of our private boundaries. If boundaries are crossed (i.e.: trespassing outside of specified hours) violators will be reported.**
