Group bookings
Visits are by appointment only. To book your visit, fill out the form below.
There is something truly special about experiencing the sanctuary as a group. Whether you are a homeschool co-op, a school group, or a large family gathering, I love opening our gates to share the stories and personalities of our residents.
All group visits are private, 2-hour sessions, ensuring your group has exclusive access to the sanctuary and dedicated time with the pigs.

Standard bookings are for a 2-hour duration. All contributions directly fund the food, medical care, and habitat maintenance for our rescued residents.
Private Small Group (Up to 15 guests): $150
Private Large Group (16–25 guests): $200
Education / NPO (Up to 25 guests): $150 (A discounted rate for schools, homeschooling groups, and registered non-profits)
Have a group larger than 25? We would love to host you! For groups of 26 or more, there is an additional contribution of $10 per person. This allows me to arrange the extra staff and logistics required to ensure a safe, well-organized, and wonderful experience for both your large group and the pigs.
Need more time? Extended stays must be requested at the time of booking:
Small Group / NPO Extension: +$50 per additional hour

The "Handheld" Rule When calculating your group size for capacity limits:
Do Not Count: "Handheld" children (infants or toddlers who are being carried or remain in a stroller/carrier for the duration of the visit).
Do Count: Any child who is walking independently or interacting with the pigs on foot.
Mandatory Supervision Ratios For the safety of our animals and your children, I require the following minimum adult-to-child ratios for all independent (walking) children:
Ages 5 and Under: 1 Adult per 5 Children
Ages 6 to 12: 1 Adult per 8 Children

Secure Your Date: A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for all group bookings. Your date is held once the deposit is received via e-transfer.
Final Payment: The remaining balance is due upon arrival.
Rescheduling: I require 48 hours’ notice to transfer your deposit to a new date. Late cancellations or no-shows forfeit the deposit.
Weather: We are an outdoor sanctuary. If I have to cancel due to extreme weather, you will receive a full refund or an immediate reschedule.

When you book a group session, you’ll have a private, two-hour visit to enjoy the sanctuary and get to know the herd! I’ll be on-site with you the entire time, sharing heartfelt stories about the pigs and answering any questions you have.
If you are bringing a larger group, we’ll gently split up into smaller clusters to ensure everyone stays safe and the pigs don't get overwhelmed. While one group visits the pigs, the rest of your party can enjoy our spacious outdoor area and playground, or participate in team-building activities we can organize together.
A few gentle reminders: To keep the sanctuary a safe haven, please leave all dogs at home, as outside pets can frighten my rescued residents. If you’d like to bring treats, the pigs absolutely adore whole apples, cucumbers, and melons (please skip the carrots and cabbage). Just bring them as-is, and I’ll happily slice them up here so we can feed them together!
