By signing below, I acknowledge that I am a voluntary and willing participant in the Fair Amount Food Forest (“FAFF” or “FAFF Project”), and fully understand that there may be risks inherent in or associated with my participation. In consideration of my participation in the activities organized and provided by FAFF, I hereby release from liability and agree to indemnify and hold harmless FAFF and the Experimental Farm Network, its organizers, property owners or residents, volunteers, and partner organizations including their employees, boards and volunteers, for any damage, injury, illness or death which may result from or be associated with my participation in the FAFF project, including travel associated therewith, whether caused by negligence of the aforementioned parties or otherwise. I hereby assume any and all risk of personal injury, illness, death, and damage to personal property.
 
I understand that this is a release of liability which will legally prevent me or any other person from filing suit or making any other legal claim for injuries, damage, or death sustained by me. I, nevertheless, enter into this agreement freely and voluntarily and agree that it is binding on me, my heirs, assignees, and legal representatives. I also expressly agree that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Pennsylvania, and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

Covid-19 is an extremely contagious virus that spreads easily by person to person contact. Federal authorities and the State of Pennsylvania recommend social distancing and the use of face masks to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Use of FAFF grounds and participation in FAFF programs could increase the risk of you or your child contracting Covid-19. FAFF organizers undertake recommended measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, but we cannot guarantee you will be 100% safe from illnesses such as Covid-19, cold or the flu when on FAFF grounds or participating in FAFF programs.

I and any minors I am a guardian of understand that we are required to wear a mask at Fair Amount Food Forest unless distances greater than 6’ are maintained outdoors and at all times in any facilities made available by FAFF or their partners. I and any minors I am a guardian of also understand that attendance at any gathering at this time carries certain risks. In exchange for attendance and participation in FAFF events and programs, I therefore accept the risk of participation and relieve FAFF and FAFF partner staff, volunteers, other participants and any assigns, successors and/or heirs from any loss, damage, claim and/or demand on account of injury, sickness or death arising from participation in FAFF programs, events or use of related facilities.

I affirm that I or any minors I am guardian of will stay home if anyone in our household is experiencing Covid-19 like symptoms or if anyone in our household has come in close contact with a confirmed case in the last 14 days. If I am filling this out in person, I affirm that I or any minors I am guardian of and people in our household(s) are not experiencing Covid-19 like symptoms and no one in our household has come in close contact with a confirmed case in the last 14 days.

FAFF stresses that you should not consume parts of any wild edible plants, herbs, weeds, trees,​ or bushes until you have verified with your health professional that they are safe for you. As with any new foods that you wish to try, it is best to introduce them slowly into your diet in small amounts. I understand that the information presented in FAFF’s Workshops whether by FAFF representatives, staff or community teachers is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as a substitute for diagnosis and/or treatment by a healthcare professional. I understand that I should always consult a healthcare professional or medical doctor when suffering from any health ailment, disease, illness, or injury, or before attempting any traditional or folk remedies.
 
I also understand that FAFF and many of the spaces in which FAFF’s Events, Programs, and Workshops are hosted may not be licensed as commercial kitchens or food preparation facilities. As such, I will use any plants or products, whether harvested on my/our own; distributed by FAFF organizers, volunteers, or associates; or made in FAFF’s Workshops for personal use only and will under no circumstances sell the products.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read this release of liability and assumption of risk and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend the agreement by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I also acknowledge that I have read and understood the disclaimer.

By signing below, I grant FAFF the right to take photographs of me during the activity identified below. I authorize FAFF to copyright, use and publish the same in print and/or electronically.

Note: If you do not want to be photographed, please indicate so below by writing “no” or “N” under the Photos column. I understand it is my responsibility to let all event or program organizers and any volunteer photographers of my wish to not be photographed.

I hereby recognize that all minors must have a waiver filled out by a legal guardian. By filling out the below, I certify that I am the legal guardian of the minor(s) listed below my name and indicate whether we both will be in attendance or not.
