Phoenix Farm is situated in the rural wilderness of northern Appalachia and the foothills of the Alleghany Mountains with all of its flora and fauna. Poison ivy/oak, brambles, weather changing on a dime, snakes, ticks, bees and other flying/stinging/biting bugs are around, so I understand that I need to come prepared. I.e. wear wear long pants, long sleeves, a hat, bring extra shoes/socks, sunscreen, etc. *
