Open Barn Day - Free Guided Tour

Step into a world of compassion and connection at Farm of the Free Animal Sanctuary's open tours. Join us for an enriching experience as you meet our beloved animal residents and learn about the transformative power of sanctuary life.

Nestled in the serene countryside of Good Hope, GA, our sanctuary provides a safe haven for farmed animals rescued from neglect, abuse, and exploitation. From gentle cows to spirited goats, each resident has a story to tell and a heart to touch.

During the self-guided tour, you'll interact with our animal ambassadors*, hear their stories of resilience, and gain insight into the compassionate lifestyle choices that promote animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Reserve your spot today and take the first step towards a more compassionate world for all beings.

Sanctuary Code of Conduct:

1. To get started, please sign our digital waiver by clicking this link. This will help expedite the process and eliminate the need for paper waivers. If you are unable to sign the waiver beforehand, don't worry - there will be an opportunity to do so when you arrive at the sanctuary.
2. As their caregivers, the comfort, safety, and well-being of our residents are our top priority. We kindly ask that you keep this in mind when interacting with them.
3. *Please note that interactions with our residents are not guaranteed, as the sanctuary is not a petting zoo. We respect the wishes of our residents, and they are not obligated to engage with anyone if they are not comfortable.
4. *If a resident walks away from you, please do not pursue them. We strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for our residents, and we respect their body language and personal space.
