Small Family Farm • Twiddle Dee Farm is a southeastern NC farm , just south of Clinton ... halfway between Raleigh and Wilmington • The farm is 100 years old.
We Practice Alternative Agriculture Twiddle Dee Farm is dedicated to: Sustainable agriculture Humane Treatment of Our Animals Good Stewardship of Our Land Preservation of the Farm Being fair
Farming Activities include: Pasture-Based Operations: sheep chickens horse boarding Agritourism: “farm stay” tours
Any Farm can be a Dangerous Place! So how does Twiddle Dee Farm plan for and minimize its risk / liability exposure?
We read our Business Plan! What?!
Our Business Plan Helps Us Identify the Exposures! It Helps Us Do Due Diligence!
Who will come to our farm? What will they do when here? What are our products? How will they get to market?
Then we plan accordingly! Ok. How so?
Examples of how we manage our exposures: Clear public/private space signage written notice of rules no children allowed sell our animals live, on-the-hoof
A Warm Welcome for Visitors... includes letting them know to check in at the office first!
Additional Comments Twiddle Dee Farm continues to grow and make adjustments. We tweak our business plan. We stay true, however, to the principles of being fair to the animals, to the land and environment, and to our neighbors. www.twiddledeefarm.com
