CHARLTON, N.Y. — It’s a brave new world at dozens of fall agritourism destinations this year.
Many activities enjoyed by people of all ages have been canceled and guests who turn out must adapt to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, which pose costly new challenges for farm owners.
“We’re just happy to be able to open,” Garth Ellms said. “We’ll have about 10 people dedicated to cleaning and sanitizing. They’ll be sanitizing the farm throughout the day, every day, and we’ll obviously be promoting social distancing. Masks will be required 100% of the time.”
