Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: February 4, 2025

1. Our Commitment

Dirt & Grit Farm (operated by Jensen Family Farm, LLC) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure equal access to our website, ticketing, and farm information.

2. Conformance Standard

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines outline best practices to make web content accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

3. Technical & Accessibility Features

Our website incorporates the following accessibility practices:

  • Keyboard Operability: All interactive elements, menus, links, and forms can be navigated and operated using standard keyboard controls.
  • Visual Focus Indicators: High-contrast focus rings are visible on all interactive elements during keyboard navigation.
  • Text Alternatives: Descriptive alt text is provided for informative images, while decorative graphics are marked to be ignored by assistive technology.
  • Structure & Semantics: Pages use logical heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3) and proper semantic HTML5 tags for screen reader compatibility.
  • Color & Contrast: Color is not used as the sole means of conveying information, and text elements meet minimum WCAG contrast ratios.
  • Responsive Design: Content resizes dynamically and supports text zooming up to 200% without loss of functionality.

4. Physical Farm Accessibility

We strive to make our physical farm experience in Woodruff, SC welcoming to all visitors:

  • Terrain & Pathways: Our fields feature gravel paths and grass ground. Strollers and wheelchairs are welcome, though ground conditions can vary based on seasonal weather.
  • Animal Watching: Farm animals reside in secure pasture enclosures viewable from outside fence lines.
  • Service Animals: Valid service animals trained to work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities are welcome on farm premises in accordance with ADA Title III requirements. (For animal safety, emotional support animals and pets are not permitted).

5. Third-Party Services

While we strive to ensure accessibility across our entire site, some third-party integrations (such as embedded interactive maps or external payment portals) may be outside of our direct design control. We work with vendors who share our commitment to accessibility and stand ready to assist any visitor experiencing difficulty.

6. Assistance & Feedback
