According to the Family Day at the Farm's Facebook event page, "Donations from refreshments, poems, and more help support Equality South Dakota’s mission across the state. Make sure to drop a few dollars in our donation jars! Every dollar raised at Family Day at the Farm will be used to fuel our fight to defend the rights and well-being LGBTQ+ folks and their families in South Dakota."

The farm is ADA accessible. Masks are recommended and will be provided free of charge.
