Yep - they're not drop-in vacation villas - farm work involves hands-on activities - and thinking and planning - and part of why people live in these settings is to be able to be close to nature and not just have people in their heads and faces - even the places where they try to accommodate dropping in - would probably prefer advance notice, and coming over when they're ready to meet and greet.

I appreciate seeing everyone's response to my comment about calling
ahead. Not living on a farm, (but being interested in them) didn't
give me the insight into recognizing how much of an interruption
random visits can be. Since we've visited a few places now, we 'get
it'.
Its a courtesy thing that isn't really talked about, so it escaped our
awareness until we actually made the mistakes ourselves. And there are
those farms that accept passers-by that help confuse the issue. (i.e.
We just toured a place in France 2 months ago that charged a measly 2
euros for a tour, and they didn't even charge for the tour if you
actually bought some of their produce. We would have happily paid the
extra!)
