Locations de vacances : Rice Lake

* WINTER TOURS; please dress warmly - the farm is quite windy + we'll be walking up a hill so please make sure you have appropriate footwear. Also, due to the fact that our pigs are spoiled divas, they will NOT go to the pond in inclement weather. Instead, we'll enjoy some time with the chickens and ducks in addition to the pigs and alpacas :) You'll start your farm adventure learning about our Alpacas - why we have them, some basic care and handling practices and then we'll move into the pen where you can get up close and feed if you wish - this is not a petting zoo so touching the alpacas is not guaranteed. Sometimes they're groovy with a neck scratch, sometimes they'd rather just a photo opt - either way, you'll be in for quite the experience! Next, we'll introduce you to our rescue pigs, Jolene and Billy Ray - they aren't shy to the limelight and would love a belly rub or ear scratch. We'll give you some info on pot bellys and WHY they're one of our fave farm friends. We'll finish off the tour with the pigs down by our pond where you can feed them and refresh with a beverage yourself :) There will be lots of opportunity for photos, so don't be shy! Other things to note Please note that we're a farm that loves on its farm friends but we do not guarantee that the animals are always up for pats or snuggles - we're not a petting zoo.

We will meet you outside the house and go down to the barn. From there you will meet each pig (Bullet, Piper, Ivy, Dexter, Cash, Rosie, Quincy, Phoenix, Opal, Georgie and Hugh) and learn about their personal stories that lead them to me. We will enter the pen so you can snuggle and take photos. The entire experience will last 60 minutes! Other things to note: Should be comfortable around animals. Allergy alert for hay/straw. No smoking. Please leave your dogs at home! Family friendly.

You will no doubt spot Walter as you come up the long driveway. We will meet you there to disinfect our boots. We will start our tour with the pigs; you will learn all their stories and have an option to go in the pen. If you prefer, Henry and Paisley can come out to meet you. From there we will head over and meet Walter and his merry band of sheep. When you have had enough kisses from Walter, you will meet our wonderfully friendly, and playful, goat herd. We will end our tour with a walk in the woods, the dogs will no doubt join us. The experience lasts an hour. Other things to note: We understand how much you love your dogs but please leave them at home; we have some lovely ladies who will be happy to greet you and show you around.

An afternoon visiting the sanctuary is time well-spent and a terrific experience for you or for the whole family. Promised Land's rescued farm friends love visitors as much as you’ll love meeting them! You will be touched by their individual rescue stories and have your own unforgettable tales to tell about your time spent with them. Set on a century farm, amidst the rolling hills and hardwood forests of rural Northumberland County, this 1-hour experience will bring you up-close and personal with our rescued farm family. Hands-on play and grooming sessions with our donkey Hummer and mini ponies Polly and Wally, plus any other animal who feels like getting some extra love. NOTE: There are three dogs on the property, of all different sizes. They are very energetic and will bark and try to kiss you when you first arrive. This may scare some young children who are not used to being around dogs. If you have allergies, please consider taking an antihistamine before your visit. Please leave your own pets at home.
