CONNECTIONS PROGRAM: Inclusive Animal Visits for Special Needs

At Blue Iris Farm, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to make meaningful connections with animals. Our Connections Program is designed to provide inclusive, sensory-friendly animal visits for individuals with special needs, ensuring a safe, calm, and positive experience for all participants.

What to Expect During a Connections Visit

We create a serene and unhurried environment where guests can engage with our animals at their own pace. All activities are carefully adapted to each participant’s comfort level, ensuring a stress-free experience.
