TIPS FOR VISITING THE RANCH
Bring a wagon or stroller with big wheels (think jogging stroller) if you have one. Wagons and strollers with small wheels struggle and are usually better left at home.
Bring good shoes. We try hard to keep the dirt in check but most people still take some home.
Bring Bug Spray! Bugs depend on the weather. The colder in the season the less bugs. It is also a good idea to wear long pants.
Of course, we would love for you to enjoy our concessions but, you can bring a picnic and snacks. There are grassy areas that are great for picnics with the kids.
GENERAL FAQs
Can we just come in and purchase food, and donuts, or shop at the Country Store?
--No, an admission ticket is required to come in and purchase anything at the ranch. If you know you want to come and satisfy your hamburger or donut craving multiple times during the season, a season pass is the perfect solution for that!
Can I pre-order donuts for my own event?
--No. We can’t take orders for events outside of the festival. We have a limit of 3 dozen donuts per person. Thanks for your understanding!
Do I have to purchase tickets online?
--Yes. Everyone has to purchase tickets online. However, this year you don’t need to choose a day, but we do have a price difference between weekdays and weekends.
Is the Ranch Wheelchair Friendly?
--It depends on the wheelchair. Due to the nature of the ranch and farm the ground is uneven and most areas of the ranch are gravel including our parking lot. This makes it hard for regular wheelchairs. Areas like our sunflower, pumpkin, or corn fields are just that - fields - with uneven dirt. We don't have "paved" paths. The farm yard is gravel, dirt, and woodchips.
If you know someone in a wheelchair please feel free to contact us. We will try to make your experience as easy and fun as possible!
Can I bring my Pet (Dog)?
--Yes! We allow dogs at all of our festivals. We only require that they be on a leash at all times, you clean up any messes they may leave (bring bags - we don't provide them), and that they are nice community members - ie: no barking or aggressive behavior that scares other guests or our ranch animals. Note that pets of any kind are never allowed in animal pens and some animal areas!
Do you accept Credit Cards?
--Yes. We take all major cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash. We don't accept personal checks (except for some private event deposits).
Do you charge for Parking?
--No. Parking is free!
Do you allow Alcohol at the ranch?
--No, we do not allow alcohol during public or private events.
Do you allow Smoking at the ranch?
--Only in the designated area in our parking lot. For the enjoyment of our other guests and because of the nature of the ranch and the dry climate of Utah we cannot have smoking anywhere at the ranch.
Does the ranch offer Discount Tickets?
--Yes. Sign up for our emails - we send a few emails each festival. We send out our best deals to our email subscribers!
FALL FESTIVAL FAQs
Fall Festival FAQs:
Are pumpkins included with admission tickets?
--No. Pumpkins are available for purchase. We reduced the price this year - the more you buy the less you pay. They are comparable to grocery store prices, but you get the fun experience of picking your own.
Can I come and only buy pumpkins?
--Yes. Grandpa’s Patch is open Monday-Saturday for pumpkin picking! If you didn’t have time while visiting the festival or are not able to visit the festival you can come pick your pumpkins at Grandpa’s Patch. We have over 20 varieties!
Can we reserve an area for Private Parties during this festival?
--Yes. We have several options. Check out the private event page to find more info on areas that are offered during festivals.
Can we just come in and purchase food, and donuts, or shop at the Country Store?
--No, an admission ticket is required to come in and purchase anything at the ranch. If you know you want to come and satisfy your hamburger or donut craving multiple times during the season, a season pass is the perfect solution for that!
SUNFLOWER FESTIVAL FAQs
We are so sad, but due to crop failure we will not be hosting a Sunflower Festival this year. It wasn’t for lack of trying. 😞
EDUCATION FAQs
Does Cross E Ranch offer Field Trips?
--Yes. We will be offering field trips this fall. Please email fieldtrips@crosseranch.com for more info or to reserve a space!
BEEF FAQs
Beef/Meat Questions:
Can we still buy online?
--No. At this time we are only selling ground beef during our public festivals to attendees. We just aren't able to keep up with demand. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Can your beef be shipped?
--No. At this time we are not able to ship beef/meat orders. All beef/meat must be purchased at our public festivals in person.
Do you ever sell a Whole or Half a Beef?
--No, not at this time. We are currently only specializing in ground beef.
CHARITY FAQs
Do you offer pumpkins or admission tickets for Non-Profits?
--Yes. BUT only if they are arranged before the Festival begins. We allot a certain amount of festival tickets and pumpkins for Non-Profit charity organizations and once they are gone they are gone so make arrangements early in the year. To apply for tickets or pumpkins please send us an email with your information and your request and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Please email our donation coordinator, Lana, at donations@crosseranch.com.
