Our pigs wander around between the pens, making sure everyone is happy!

Our goats are well-mannered, especially if you have food for them!

Plenty of room to move

Our family-friendly farm has large, open areas where you can enjoy a walk and view the different animals. You can even lounge near our pond and watch the water life!

Enjoy a quick snack or a full picnic lunch with our comfortable sitting area. We have tables and chairs available, or you can bring your own blankets and spread out on the green grass.

The Details - How to Sign Up

Your visit to the farm includes a private tour and time with the animals! You can help us feed them or just hang out and pet a few of our friends. Every animal is happy to see you when you visit! This is an excellent opportunity to get your kids out of the house and do something different.


The cost of your visit is a tax-deductible donation of $40 for up to six people. We ask that there be at least one adult for every five children. We only allow twelve people to visit at any time in order to ensure proper social distancing measures can be followed.


Come on out and have a good time! Request a date and time to sign up. We will contact you with all of the information that you need to have a safe, enjoyable experience at Freckles & Friends Animal Sanctuary!


All visits are weather permitting. If necessary, we will work with you to reschedule your visit to another date and time.
