The public is invited to meet the farm animal rescues of West Place Animal Sanctuary in Tiverton this weekend. The sanctuary is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2.

West Place is Rhode Island’s oldest and largest farm animal sanctuary. Get up close and personal with dozens of species, including cows, alpacas, donkeys, pigs, geese, and more. There will be a spring plant sale, and visitors can explore the newly renovated and expanded gift shop and sample three flavors of “farmbucha” – kombucha brewed on site by West Place Farmbrew.

Interactive and educational tours will leave every half-hour, for a total of 30 tours throughout the weekend. Tours will sell out fast, so advance online registration is recommended. Online tickets are discounted for adults, and kids 12 and younger always receive a discount. Dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes or boots, and prepare to discover (or re-discover) one of the gems of Rhode Island.

All donations benefit the farm animals and wildlife at West Place Animal Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2007.
