Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary


Gorgeous, glossy cows. Moo. They obviously have a great life here.
In fact, watch them dance! Pretty cute.

Like a pig in...

Can you say...foie gras?

Seriously though, the holier-than-thou attitude of this place got a little to us. I understand that it's a sanctuary for these poor animals that are all ruthlessly abandoned for one reason or another, but all that vegan vitriol was a little much for us to take. (No offense to any vegans out there!) I mean, who feeds perfectly lovely free range eggs to pigs?? And the lead guy needs some serious help learning how to present his farm to the little ones. I understand that this issue is what drives him, and I'm grateful that he has obviously put so much love and care into his farm, but give the kids a break. Maybe there needs to be two tours--one for the politically conscious, one for the kiddos, focused more on fun and just the love of the animals. I think ultimately that would build his cause a lot better with the youngest generation.

Checking out the duck pond.


Booboo watching the chickens go hide under the coop to stay cool. It was a hot day!

Now, did you watch those steer dance yet?
