It means the farm says so about itself. Farms that state they hold USDA organic certification. Certification is a real, checkable thing, so this is the firmest claim on the site. We record the wording and the page we read it on, and we never certify a farm ourselves or infer one practice from another.
1 of the 19 sell tickets online or ask you to book, and the rest take you at the gate as far as they say publicly. Suzie's Farm in San Diego: Outdoor recreation listed: bird watching, game/wildlife preserve, photography, wildlife...
None of the 19 say they are cash only. 7 say they take cards or an app. The rest do not publish how they take payment, so we do not say either way. Every listing here links to the page we read it on and the date we checked.
