š”ļø Why you should post it?Ā Ā If you have a farm or a beekeeper, you may want to consider posting a sign.Ā Under South Carolinaās agritourism law, that sign helps you limit liability if someone gets hurt due to normal, expected risks of farm activities.
Ā
**NO SHIPPING PROVIDED:Ā Delivery is provided at the next Lexington County Beekeeper's meeting unless special arrangements are made.**
Ā
Those āinherent risksā can include:
š Bee stings
š Animal behavior
š¾ Uneven ground, mud, or farm equipment
š¦ļø Weather conditions
Ā
š The key point: The protection is much stronger if you clearly warn visitorsāand that sign is part of that requirement.
Ā
āļø What the sign does for you:
Helps protect you legally if thereās an accident tied to normal farm risks
Shows visitors were aware of the risks before participating
Supports your case if thereās ever a lawsuit or insurance claim
Often required to fully qualify for agritourism liability protections
Ā
š Why it matters specifically for beekeepers & farms
Sell honey or products on-site šÆ
Host hive tours or classes š
Offer U-pick, events, or farm visits š
Let customers walk your property
ā¦then youāre considered part of agritourism, and this law likely applies to you.
Ā
ā Important note: The sign does NOT protect you from everything. Farmers should always fix issues that are unsafe conditions, and followĀ basic safety practices.
