10th Annual Diemand Farm Easter Egg Hunt: CANCELED
March 28, 2015 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
We are very sad to announce that this year’s Easter Egg Hunt and activities are being cancelled.
This is due to the fact that there are multiple identifications of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the United States. Wild birds and domestic birds have been found to be susceptible.
It has been highly recommended by the Department of Agriculture that we minimize any contact our animals have with the general public.
While our farmstore is far enough away from our animals to allow you to visit us there, the amount of exposure from the Easter Egg Hunt could be devastating to our farm.
The spreading of the AI is believed to be the result of migratory birds and the seasonal movement of these birds.
The confirmed cases are in the western and central states, not in our area. However, we are concerned with the easy travel that everyone has now and that so many people have wild bird feeders that our farm animals could become unknowingly infected and we need to protect them to the best of our ability.
The threat is more intense in the colder seasons and we are looking into having an event during the warmer months after this is over, so please watch for further information.
Please come and see us at the farmstore. We love seeing our customers even if we cannot allow anyone to see our baby chicks at this time.
