PRIVATE SANCTUARY TOUR

Service Description

Come join us for a private 1.5 hour tour of Blackberry Creek Farm Animal Sanctuary, located in quaint Colfax, California in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills. Home to pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys, goats, sheep, Guinea fowl, ducks, geese, miniature donkeys, cats, a dog, llamas, and a tortoise, we provide rescue, rehabilitation, education, and advocacy on behalf of farmed animals. Tours are booked for a donation of $40/person (minimum $200 donation) with a maximum of 8 guests. They include a visit to each habitat of the sanctuary and interaction with the animals who live there based on their choice. We are not a petting zoo and cannot guarantee the participation of any particular animal, but typically visitors will get to pet a cow, feed a llama, hug a donkey, kiss a turkey, and give a pig belly rubs. Please do not bring food for the animals, as some are on special diets. We will provide snacks for certain animals that are safe for visitors to feed. Please note our cows are at a different property for grazing April - July. The sanctuary is just that... a quiet, peaceful place, and we require that adults who bring children do so at a 1:1 ratio to ensure their safety and that of the animals. Before the tour, we will talk about quiet voices, safety protocols, and appropriate interaction with each species. An ADA portable restroom with outdoor sink will be available for guest use. During the tour, you will hear the stories of many of the rescued animals at the sanctuary and learn about the animal agriculture industry and how plant-based lifestyles can benefit the animals, human health, and the environment.
