At Blue Iris Farm, we cherish every opportunity to welcome guests and showcase the love and care our animals receive. As our main priority is the well-being of our animals, we kindly request that you book an appointment in advance to help us space out visitors and reduce stress on our residents. This ensures that we can provide the best possible experience for you while keeping the animals happy and comfortable.

 

During your visit, our incredible team of volunteers will guide you through the farm and be ready to answer all your questions. Additionally, we have a calendar of exciting upcoming events as part of our Retreats, so be sure to keep an eye out for those!

Farm events

Here at Blue Iris Farm, our primary goal is to rescue and care for animals while promoting animal welfare through educational initiatives and exciting farm events.


Our farm events provide a unique opportunity for visitors to have fun while learning about the animals we care for and the importance of animal rescue. We offer a diverse range of educational events, allowing guests to interact with our animals and discover their unique characteristics and needs.


But that's not all - we also offer a range of interactive events that cater to all ages and interests, from live music and local vendors to bonfires and our annual Goatoberfest. These events provide a memorable experience for families, couples, or groups of friends looking to unwind and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of our farm.


We are thrilled to welcome you to Blue Iris Farm and hope that our events inspire a deeper appreciation and understanding of the animals we share our world with.
