Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, High Falls

An beautiful, unique experience. Not a petting zoo; they are a little more of the mindset that you can interact with the animals if the animals are interested. But you will almost certainly have interaction; especially from those goats. If you take the tour, they allow you into the gates with the animals, and tell you a bit about their stories and struggles, along with a lot of surprising info about the animal agriculture industry. My tour guide was very generous and helpful, though she was probably just a bit heavy-handed with the vegan messaging for some people I imagine, but not enough to not enjoy the experience overall. All the staff was super kind. Was not crowded at all for us, and was a beautiful day.

I surprised my boyfriend with a stay at the Gray Barn which is right on the property. The Inn is just beautiful and the views are incredible. The rooms are very clean, nice. Vegan breakfast is made every morning for guests and it was delicious. Out of respect for the animals only vegan snacks and food are allowed to be brought in by guests. Tours are given for guests too and that was amazing. We got to visit each animal, learn what happens to them in the industry, and even interact with some of the animals. We can't wait to go back!
