rescued farm animal community connections

This farm rescue & retreat exceeded our expectations. The animals are very clearly loved and very well taken care of. We felt so welcomed by our guide, Becky, who introduced us to all of the animals. The goats are incredibly social and friendly and we absolutely loved going on a beautiful, serene walk with them through the grounds. There are goats, pigs, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs and even a goose! The draft horses are truly a sight to behold and we loved feeding them treats! Blue Iris is truly a hidden gem. Family friendly & honestly pretty clean for a farm! We loved every minute and will be back.
