Looking for a meaningful getaway that gives back this year? Consider a day (or a stay) at Farm Sanctuary!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n
\n

Our sanctuaries in Watkins Glen, New York, and just outside Los Angeles, California, are home to hundreds of rescued farm animals. Book your guided tour to hear their inspiring stories of resilience\u2014or even plan a stay at our scenic and peaceful New York site (complete with a vegan cafe!) to surround yourself with sanctuary.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note: Advanced registration is required for tours of our <\/span>New York<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Los Angeles<\/span><\/a> sanctuaries.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Have you planned your trip to visit us yet? If not, here are 10 reasons to do it today!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

1. You’ve never met farm animals face-to-face before<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n

Billions of farm animals are used in our food system each year, but most of us don\u2019t get to meet a farm animal up close. Did you know that many pigs like belly rubs and gentle ear scratches? Or that cows have \u201csandpaper\u201d tongues just like cats and like to show they care by \u201cgrooming\u201d you? Spending time with farm animals is often an eye-opening experience that gives a glimpse of the sentience and social lives of these little-understood beings.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

2. Animal rescue stories warm your heart<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n

Each resilient animal who calls Farm Sanctuary home has a moving story to tell. We rescue animals from abuse and neglect, often from factory farms. Their harrowing starts in life are part of their stories, but so are their days of healing and love in our care. You\u2019ll meet some of our inspiring residents when you visit and learn their stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

3. You need some time outdoors<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n

Are you spending too much time working or cooped up in your house? Get outside and recharge at our New York and Los Angeles sanctuaries. When you visit us, sit back, take a deep breath, and enjoy the sunshine like our rescued residents do.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n<\/section>\n
\n

4. You love delicious food<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n

At our New York site, we have a new plant-based cafe where you can enjoy a flavorful meal without even leaving the sanctuary! The menu includes pizza, salad, soup, and dessert. Plus, if you stay in one of our tiny houses or cabins (see below!), breakfast is included daily!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

5. You want to stay in a cozy cabin<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

6. You’re feeling burnt out<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
\n
\n

Sanctuary is restorative, not only for the animals who heal from suffering here but for the humans who visit us to get away from it all in an uplifting place. Enjoy a guided sanctuary tour and meet like-minded people for peaceful moments of compassion and community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both our sanctuaries are nestled near popular destinations with great \u201coff-the-farm\u201d activities. Our Watkins Glen sanctuary is in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, with hiking trails, wineries, waterfalls\u2014and even the famous Watkins Glen International Speedway. And, of course, Los Angeles boasts dazzling sights and delicious vegan food. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
