Accessibility Statement

Highland Farms is a working farm property set on five acres of forest and pasture land in Brightwood, Oregon. Due to the natural terrain, some areas of the property include uneven ground, gravel paths, and natural surfaces. We are happy to discuss specific accessibility needs and accommodations for your visit.

Please note that our farm tours and our Nordic Spa (the wood-burning sauna, wet sauna, and cold plunge) are not ADA accessible. Tours cover uneven ground, and the spa sits in a natural forest setting reached by uneven ground and steps; neither can accommodate wheelchairs or mobility devices.

Please contact us in advance so we can help plan your visit and ensure the best possible experience.

Highland Farms is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Conforming to these guidelines also helps make content more usable for all users.

Highland Farms takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
• We aim for sufficient color contrast (WCAG AA)
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the site, including image carousels
• ARIA labels and roles for interactive elements and landmarks
• Alt text on our photos; we are still adding it to some older images
• Accessible forms with proper labels and error messages
• Responsive design that works across screen sizes
• Respect for reduced motion preferences

While we strive for full accessibility, some limitations may exist:

• Third-party booking widgets (Acuity Scheduling, Hospitable) are outside our direct control, though we have chosen providers that prioritize accessibility
• Some older images may have limited alt text descriptions; we are actively improving these
• Embedded content from third-party services may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of the Highland Farms website. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:
