Covid-19 Important Information

This year, Stokoe Farms has added additional hand sanitizing stations, as well as increased our normal cleaning procedures. We are limiting out capacity and encouraging online reservations. We have created two points of entry and two exits, as well as added a second pre-cut tree barn. This will allow guests to easily socially distance. Lastly, due to Cuomo's mandates, you will not be able to pet or feed the animals this year. However, they will still be at the farm and happy to see you! Masks are required.
