Sanctuary Tours
Meet the animals. Hear their stories. See rescue as it really is.
Sanctuary Tours at Pear Tree Farm are an invitation into a quieter truth.
This is a chance to meet rescued animals as individuals, learn how they came to be here, and understand the realities of farm animal rescue, honestly, gently, and without spectacle.
Tours are small, guided, and always shaped around what’s best for the animals.
