Longmeadow Ranch is a division of the Humane Society that handles farm animals. If you ever see a horse, pig, duck, or other farm animal that is being neglected or mistreated you can call them and they will see about rescuing the animal. They adopt out their animals as well. Several times a year they have an event called "Wagon Days" where you can get a free wagon ride around the 165 acre property. They have animals in various different barns and we enjoyed learning about their histories and how they came to live there. They had BBQ for sale and a nice pavilion. I'm glad we got to see the place but it's not somewhere we'd go on a regular basis. It's a wonderful organization though and it's almost completely run by volunteers, which is amazing in and of itself.

The first thing you do when you get here is go to the gift shop and sign in. They will give you a visitor's badge and show you where to go.
