Frequently asked questions
We here at BlackJack Acres are limiting people coming onto the farm as well as adhearing to the 6 foot rule , masks and gloves set forth by the CDC. Although gloves are not necessary at this time , should it make our guests / customers feel safer we will be happy to wear them. We are also offering curbside pick up by appointment.
We are a rather small farm and we are still setting up the web presence. If you would like to make a purchase we would be happy to help you via e-mail for the time being. In order to accept payments we have to sign up for a monthly subscription , since we are an up and coming business we currently lack the funds. You see everything we make is put back into the farm , the livestock and our crafts.

It also includes tracking for you as well as us to ensure delivery and Insurance is included up to $50.00. Should your purchase require more Insurance we will include it in your invoice for your protection.
