Been there they have one of the largest dairy cows I've ever seen that thing is so big it's over 8 feet tall and it's friendly. It's out in the middle of nowhere right off the freeway at red rover mine and the 14 Great Pl. to go and hang out and check it out.

We love visiting Farm Sanctuary!! Great educational experience for the kids and a nice reminder for us adults to know each other are on the right path sticking to a plant-based diet.

In today's world, many animal organizations are primarily focused on making money. These organizations don't actually care about the welfare of animals. Their intentions are mainly surrounded around what monetary benefit the animals will bring to their organization. With social media and on-going trends, many animal "sanctuaries", theme parks and zoos (to name a few: Gentle Barn, Seaworld, Los Angeles Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and Aquarium of the Pacific ) promote animal welfare, but they don't actually do anything except objectify helpless animals for their own benefit. While some organizations will argue that they serve an educational purpose, their argument does not justify the imprisonment of the individual animals. These organizations may also argue that spending time with the animals inspires people to protect them, but their idea of protecting the animals consists of taking them out of the wild to confine them in cages and pens for human entertainment. Farm Sanctuary is the exact opposite of everything that I stated above. This farm has been on my bucket list for 2 years, and today, I had the pleasure of visiting and understanding their cause and purpose. Before I made my visit, I did extensive research to make sure I wasn't promoting a so-called organization (I.e. Gentle Barn) which wheels in clientele and social media influencers by offering numerous photo opportunities and selfies with helpless animals. What I concluded is that this organization and their staff truly love and care for all animals. They take care of them as best as humanly possible. They are remarkable people. Aaron (our guide) was wonderful in explaining the organization's mission as well as each animal's past history. We were allowed to engage and care for the residents on-site with the exception of a few. This was partly due to their timid nature from past experiences at factory farms. Completely understandable. This sanctuary is truly for those who care about animal welfare and want to educate themselves on what animals really endure. Unlike other so-called sanctuaries and zoos, Farm Sanctuary doesn't confine, breed, buy, sell and/or trade animals for their own gain. They rescue, rehabilitate and provide love and comfort to each individual animal. I highly recommend this farm to all animal lovers. It's not a overhyped theme park, zoo, and/or social media trend. It's also nothing fancy, AND, that's exactly why I loved it so much! A big shoutout to all of the amazing staff for everything you do. You give me hope!

This was a great little farm tour. Ian was a great guide and was knowledgeable about animals. He provided names and background stories on ALL the animals, which was amazing. I'm familiar with most animals, but I don't think I've ever scratched bellies on so many different animals ?. It is great to see volunteers that back-up their beliefs with actions. Thanks for all you do !!!

This was my second visit to the farm. It's super educational and a great place to introduce children to the animals in a realistic and honest setting. They get to meet the animals, interact with them and learn how they have unique personalities just like people. The tour is geared towards an older child / adult audience, however even small kids can learn from it, and our guide was enthusiastic to answer even basic questions about the animals. I highly recommend this place!

Farm Sanctuary is an awesome place!Although not as big as their former location in northern California (or presumably their place in NY), it's still a treat to be there.We went for the Celebration of the Turkeys this year and it was a wonderful experience and an honor to meet founder Gene Baur and others.We loved being able to spend time with the rescued animals and get to know some of them. I loved giving a belly rub to a pig, standing tall with a cow, and hugging a sheep. Each was a special feeling that created special memories!

Signed up for a private tour with the fam. So nice to just spend the day with the rescued animals. Was able to ask about the ugly industrialized animal farming business. Met some awesome goats, pigs, cows, birds, and sheep!
