As a voice for farm animals, R.A.S.T.A. provides educational and interactive summer tours to the public. Visits to the Sanctuary are aimed at dispelling common myths and misconceptions about farm animals and educating the public about the modernized farming industry.  Visitors are able to interact one-on-one with the many rescued animals including cows, pigs, chickens, cats, ducks, geese, dogs, horses, donkeys, llamas, goats, potbelly pigs, rabbits, etc.

As R.A.S.T.A. prides itself in being a Sanctuary, not a zoo, where animals are looked after rather than looked at, tours are limited and organized in advance.  All visits to the Sanctuary are strictly by appointment only.

R.A.S.T.A. does not charge a fee for visiting the Sanctuary, however in order to continue to operate donations are desperately needed, and keeping in mind that all donations are tax-deductible.  A suggested donation is $20 per person.  The average tour takes between one to two hours.

Please contact us to set up a summer visit.
