The only option available is to present the Vala’s Gift Card as the first form of payment and use a credit card to finish the transaction. The Big Barn Exit cashiers will not be able to accept cash payments. All major credit cards are accepted online and on-site: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover

We accept all major types of card payments that our POS system, Square, accepts. We also accept all digital, contactless payments that Square accepts, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, etc.

Because we are a large farm there are 4 additional locations on the farm that will accept cash to purchase $20 Vala’s Gift Cards: Calamity Jan’s, Spencer’s Dugout, InFARMation Booth and Big Barn Exit.
