Pick-Up Policy

Misty Maple Hollow Pick-Up Procedures and Policy

Please note: We do not allow the public onto our back farm with the animals. This is a major biosecurity issue, and is a part of our NPIP certification, so we cannot make exceptions.

Birds will be brought out to you. We meet at the area by the farmstand.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE:

  • Park anywhere in the driveway, but please do not go past the gate
  • If we aren’t already out to greet you, please text us at 774-314-7738
  • Please keep any kids and pets inside the vehicle, and either wait in or by your vehicle. 
  • We do not have any public bathrooms on the farm. There are multiple Dunkin Donuts and Cumberland Farms within 5-10 minutes that do if you need to go. 

PAYMENT AT PICKUP:

  • If there is a balance due, please bring cash to pay when picking up. 
  • We don’t negotiate at pick-up, and will not release the birds if you forgot to bring enough money.

BRINGING THE BIRDS HOME:

  • Please bring a proper carrier to bring them home. If you don’t have a carrier made for birds, a small animal crate is great for older birds who are off heat. 
  • If you are bringing young chicks (under 2-3 weeks)  home, a box works better than a crate to help keep them warm when they get home.

LOCATION:

We are located at 198 Ashburnham State Rd, Westminster MA, which is Route 12 between Fitchburg and Ashburnham.

If you’re coming from downtown Ashburnham, we’re about a 4 minute drive towards Fitchburg from town center. If you’re coming from Fitchburg, we’re on the left a little bit past the farm up on the hill, but before you hit Dean Hill and Jewel Hill Road. If you hit Ashburnham center, you went about 4 minutes too far.
