Keeping Clean: Hand-washing stations and hand sanitizers should be requirements for any farm market with a petting zoo

摘要

ENTERTAINMENT farming, or agri-tainment as it is commonly known, is one of the more popular forms of direct marketing today. It's a great way to get large groups of visitors to come to your farm and stop by the market. For some growers, entertainmentincludes not only corn mazes, hay rides, and pick-your-own apples, it also means farm animals. What better way to make children want to come to your orchard than by offering them a petting zoo? Unfortunately, what better way to run the risk of spreadingharmful bacteria as well. Because of this, it's a good idea for any grower investing in a petting zoo to provide hand-washing stations, or at least liquid hand sanitizers, outside of the petting zoo area.
