Bring your own water container!
In an effort to drastically reduce the amount of plastic used on Sundays, The Gentle Barn will not be selling water in plastic water bottles. We have a new water station with filtered water that you may use to fill up your own water containers. There will be a limited supply of Gentle Barn water containers and thermoses that can be purchased at the gift shop as well.
Bringing Outside Food
Out of respect for the animals, we kindly ask that you do not bring any dairy, egg, meat, poultry, or seafood onto the property. The Gentle Barn is an outdoor farm environment, therefore we strongly recommend all visiting guests wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, a hat, and plenty of sunscreen. Be sure to bring plenty of water for your group!
Regarding Financial Hardship for Sunday Visits If you are in a time of financial hardship and unable to afford the requested donation amount, please contact us.
At The Gentle Barn, our animals always come first. Our animals get to live their very best lives, eat on a schedule, and spend time with their friends. Our tours and guests get to enjoy the animals, while the animals are enjoying their natural lives and may not always be available. Thanks for the understanding and for loving animals with us.
