Makes the current situation with immigration in this country even more disturbing. They also have different videos you can watch in their auditorium. We did not have time but some looked interesting.

The kids were pretty well behaved, just excited (don't run in the hallway type of things), so their concern was a little much. Didn't detract from the visit though.

We discovered Heartland Farm Sanctuary in early 2018 and have been fans and supporters ever since…read more Heartland was the first farm sanctuary in Wisconsin and still is the largest in the state. But what makes Heartland stand out is that in addition to love and effort they devote to the homeless farm animals they rescue, the sanctuary also works with youth who are at risk or have special needs. Heartland Farm Sanctuary creates an environment where youth and the rescued animals can "come together to heal, grow, and have fun" (quoted from Heartland). The environment at Heartland Farm Sanctuary is truly different from what you would experience at a traditional working farm (or for that matter, just reading or hearing about animals). I think of my visits to Heartland as something of a Zen experience -- that setting is part of why children can so effectively learn how to interact with animals in a humane fashion. Heartland offers public tours on most weekends from Spring through Fall. There also are week-long summer camps for kids. The animal residents change over time as new rescues arrive (and unfortunately as some older animals pass away). Current residents include donkeys, a miniature horse (Cookie), emus, cows (Beau and Daisy), goats, lamas, turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, pigs, sheep, and more. The sanctuary also includes two cats (Poppy and Otto) that keep an eye on everything. If you have kids, Heartland Farm Sanctuary is a fantastic place for them to interact with animals and in turn learn in ways that are not possible in the classroom or from watching TV.

A yearly visit (at least!) is good for our spirits since this is a lovely place for animals and people to be surrounded by kindness and compassion - two things that never go out of style! The tours begin promptly and people gather at a small picnic style area with a roof (a new development since our previous visit). Then, we are taken to the barn to see the emus, hens, turkeys, Cookie the mini horse, and the donkeys. We then get to see the pigs and we were lucky enough this time to see Winnie enjoying some watermelon. The last part of the tour is in the pasture area with the goats - Esther is happy to act as tour guide as well! But not only are these tours amazing, this entity has all kinds of activities and projects with children (summer camp, etc). They really put monetary donations to good use. When going for the tour, you may want to bring a water bottle. Their port-a-potties are pretty clean with plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer. We still brought some sanitizer just in case, but they offer you some at the end after petting the animals that come to you to hang out in the pasture. In less than 15 minutes driving back, we were already by the West Towne Mall area.
