Lancaster Farm Sanctuary, Mount Joy

About Lancaster Farm Sanctuary

Lancaster Farm Sanctuary in Mount Joy is a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary where visitors meet rescued farm animals and learn their stories. The sanctuary houses residents including pigs like Pumpkin and Ramona, cattle like Jude, turkeys including Tammy, goats, alpacas, and other farm animals that have been rescued from neglect, abuse, or factory farming situations. Visitors do not arrive for drop-in visits; instead, they attend regularly scheduled tours during warmer months or arrange private tours accommodating up to eight people. During tours, guests meet individual animals, learn about their rescues and recoveries, and form connections with the residents. The sanctuary also runs educational programs including a pen pal program that connects classrooms with animals. Tickets are sold online through the venue's website. A visit suits families, school groups, and anyone interested in animal welfare and sanctuary life.
