As a sanctuary, our primary purpose is to provide a forever home to farmed animals who were at risk of slaughter. This means that we are committed to allowing our residents to live peacefully without exploitation or expectation. To accomplish this, we are only open to the public on certain occasions. When we host an event or tour on-site, we ask that you understand that interactions with residents are not guaranteed. We do not operate like a petting zoo. If a resident is ill or feeling unsocial, we do not force them to participate in activities or socialization. Sometimes residents may be observed in the pasture beyond a fence, or from outside a barn stall. We may also close certain areas of the sanctuary, temporarily or permanently, as the needs of our residents evolve.
