Public tours run on Sundays and need booking ahead. Reviewers say parking is free and easy, with a trolley running from the lot to the entrance. You hear each rescued animal's story and can pet them, cows included. Shade tarps are up for the animals when it is hot. Staff are gentle with kids.
A rescued-farm-animal sanctuary where you hug cows, give pigs belly rubs and hold chickens. Reserve ahead; wear muddy-OK shoes.

This is such a cute and fun farm experience. Whether you’re looking for some solo time with the animals, planning a unique date, or sharing something special with friends or family, this place offers such a gentle, welcoming environment. You get to learn each animal’s story and interact with them, which makes it even more meaningful. I highly recommend it. Public tours available for booking on Sundays.

My family really enjoyed learning about the farm and exploring the grounds. A great way to spend an afternoon, hanging with all the rescued animals and hearing their stories from the staff and volunteers. Go on a Sunday and hug a cow!
