Please join us next Saturday, February 9 from noon-4 to give some love to the animals! Kiss a cow, snuggle with a sheep, wrestle with a goat, pet a donkey.
For a donation of $10 or more you can choose a special gift bag for your dog or cat, full of goodies they will love!
Come and browse our gift shop – there might just be something there you want to get for your human sweetie, too!
Hot vegan lunch available, hot and cold beverages, and tours to meet the animals.
All family members welcome, but please leave your own pets at home.
Little Ricardo had to have emergency surgery on his abdomen in early December. His recovery is steady but slow. He feels awfully bad about how much money the farm is spending on “his own little self” (his words) and so he’s started a fundraiser to help out. [read more]
What happened at Star Gazing Farm during 2018? Who are the new animals? Who passed on to the rainbow bridge? What are our projects? You can read our letter here, or see the PDF version all nicely formatted here!
We surely need your help! You can make a tax-deductible donation and know that your gift will go directly to helping the animals in our care, some of whom have been previously abused, some who have special needs or were born with birth defects, and many of whom are simply just really, really old.
