BARN TOURS BY APPOINTMENT | IN PERSON & ZOOM | FOR FAMILIES AND SMALL GROUPS
Farm Tours
Tours offer your family a chance to meet the animals up close and personal. Feed and pet the animals, have your picture taken with a cow. Custom programs offer a chance to take part in the cows lives: watch a hand milking demonstration, churn butter, grind grain, help plant or pick vegetables from the garden, practice goshala yoga, farm related arts and crafts.
We recommend wearing closed toe shoes for safety and long pants to discourage insects. If you would like to bring some snacks for the cows, they like carrots, Watermellon and hay cubes, available at local farm supply stores.
Cow Cuddling Workshops
Don't miss out on all the love animals have to give. Come experience the nurturing presence of cows. You will be glad you did.
- Cow Cuddling sessions last one hour.
- You can book a time Wednesday - Sunday between 11:00am - 5:00pm.
- We don’t charge for Cow Cuddling Sessions. We are committed to providing opportunities for people to get to know cows up close and personal. If you would like to make an optional donation towards the Cows care, that is welcome, but not required.
We start by introducing you to the cows. You can pet and brush them. Once they are comfortable and lie down, you can quietly approach them. Generally, being around cows brings a calming relaxed feeling. Our new baby boy Dharma is especially cuddly. He is shy and needs to be approached with gentle attitude. We think you will enjoy your time here.
Please be prepared with closed toe shoes and clothing that you do not mind getting dirty. You are welcome to bring apples, bananas, carrots, Watermellon or hay cubes to feed the cows as you depart.
It does require time and energy on our part to prepare the barn for cuddling sessions, so that the barn is clean and neat and the cows are peacefully situated waiting for you. We ask that you be mindful of this effort.
Please call or text to schedule your appointment. You can also email us, but we get busy here caring for the cows and sometimes occasionally miss an email. If we don’t answer you in one business day, please try again.
Rural Heritage of India Program
In an effort to preserve India's rural cultural heritage, teens who need service credits for high school can interview elders in their community about their experiences with rural living skills and religious customs regarding cows and agriculture. Volunteers will help create a database and publications to preserve this important cultural knowledge.
