What to Expect When Visiting Solaris Farms........

Solaris is a beautiful old farmstead, but it is a farm with some rough spots we are still trying to work out.  We recommend wearing old shoes, a hat, jeans, and weather appropriate clothing.  Sun block and insect repellent is optional but recommended.  You need not bring containers to take plants home in, we'll supply bags (if you'd like to protect your cars trunk or interior from soil leakage or daylily flower stains please bring an old blanket or plastic liner).  Water and seating in shaded areas is available for your use.  A no flush toilet is available for your use (outhouse).  At times the farm is busy and you may have to wait for your plants to be dug, but with well over 1200 varieties to look at and many gardens to view most people find the unhurried time welcome.  Children are welcome, but parents are asked to supervise their kids while at farm.
