Offsite Dinner Venue
We will be escorting you to the offsite venue where you will be eating, but in case you miss the vehicle train, this is the information needed for the location.
You will be eating at The Grange - a rental hall, NOT a restaurant.
Address: 12629 McCourtney Road. From the sanctuary, turn left onto McCourtney Road. Drive for approximately 10 minutes. The Banner Grange will be on your right side. If you hit the fairgrounds (on your left), you've gone too far.
What to Bring/Wear
Closed toed shoes are MANDATORY. You will not be permitted into the goat, pig, sheep, or cattle pastures without closed toed shoes. Please convey this to your group members!
Long pants are required for entrance into the pastures. Jeans or comfortable khakis should suffice!
It is too soon to know about the weather.
Bring your cameras! Take lots of photos and make sure to tag us on social media!
Leave companion animals at home. Our rescued farmed animals are very sensitive about unknown dogs. We ask that all companion animals remain at home. You cannot leave your dog in the vehicle unattended, given that there will be a lot of people around and we are on a busy road.
Please do not bring your own food. All food is vegan and gluten-free. Food for the turkeys will be provided to you.
