Zenger Farm is part of a broad community response to COVID-19 and knows that we are stronger when we work together. We are in the process of adapting many of our programs and farming practices in response to the pandemic. Our primary goal is to keep our staff and community healthy and safe. If you can, please stay home and stay safe! We hope you have you back out to the farm soon.
