Farm Animal Petting Zoo
Once the animals we have rescued are healthy enough for interaction, they will be available to the public in a "petting zoo" kind of setting. This is not a zoo where animals are caged and put on display, but rather an environment where they can be stroked, petted and groomed with the kind of tlc they are deserving of. The interaction between humans and animals will be supervised by family members on the farm and possibly staff of the farm if the need for more people arises.
As always, our primary concern is for the animals' well being and absolutely NO mistreatment will be allowed! Our environment will be more of a traditional farm set up and less of a stand behind closed fences and look approach, as a large part of what we are attempting to accomplish is the reduction of animal abuse by humans - even those who start off with the best of intentions can become abusers, simply by not fully understanding the work involved in proper animal care.
Children, young people and adults alike will have opportunity to experience the duties of daily farm living, while at the same time getting to touch and caress the animals. Though it may not be a traditional "zoo" it is a necessary part of the operation to ensure that ALL of the animals here feel special.
