Terms of Service

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Welcome to Bat Cave Road Farm. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of batcaveroadfarm.com (the "Site") and your visit to our farm in Old Fort, North Carolina. By using the Site or visiting the farm, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.

Using the website

You may use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes — browsing our animals, farm stand, thrift shop, recipes, and information about visiting. You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to disrupt it, access it through automated scraping, interfere with its security, or use it for any unlawful purpose.

Our content

Unless noted otherwise, the text, photographs, graphics, logo, and other content on the Site are owned by or licensed to Bat Cave Road Farm and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You're welcome to share links to our pages. Please don't copy, republish, or use our content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

Products & pricing

Our farm stand and thrift shop offerings change with the seasons and with what's available. Descriptions, prices, and availability shown on the Site may change at any time and may not always reflect current in-person stock. Thrift and second-hand goods are sold as is. Nothing on the Site is a guarantee that a particular item is in stock.

Farm visits & the petting zoo

A working farm is a hands-on environment with live animals, uneven ground, equipment, and the outdoors. When you visit, you agree to:

• Follow posted signs and the instructions of our staff at all times.
• Supervise children in your group closely — they remain your responsibility throughout the visit.
• Treat the animals gently and only interact with them where and how we permit.
• Wash your hands at the stations provided after touching animals.

Assumption of risk

You understand that interacting with farm animals and being on farm property involves inherent risks, including the unpredictable behavior of animals, allergic reactions, and the ordinary hazards of an outdoor agricultural setting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume these risks when you visit, on behalf of yourself and any minors in your care.

Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We don't warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that information on it is complete or current.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by North Carolina law, Bat Cave Road Farm and its owners and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of your use of the Site. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Third-party links

The Site may link to or embed third-party services (such as Google Maps and our Instagram feed). We're not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of those third parties.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in McDowell County, North Carolina.
