Celebrate love in all its muddy, imperfect, and deeply meaningful forms at My Sweet Muddy Valentine, a special Valentine’s Day bake sale and sanctuary tour benefiting the rescued animals of Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary.
Join us for an afternoon filled with the most incredible handmade desserts, including beautiful cookies, decadent cakes, rich truffles, chocolates, fudge, and so much more, all crafted with care by generous local bakers who believe love should never come at the expense of animals.
This is a sweet, cozy way to spend Valentine’s Day. At a time when many of us are feeling stretched thin and longing for connection, this gathering offers space for warmth, joy, and care for one another and for the animals who call the sanctuary home.
What to Expect
• A Valentine’s themed bake sale overflowing with stunning desserts
• A relaxed, joyful atmosphere surrounded by rescued animals
• A meaningful way to support lifelong care for nearly 500 rescued farm animals who call Broken Shovels their forever home
Whether you are celebrating with a partner, friends, family, or flying solo, this is a Valentine’s Day that truly gives back.
Tickets
Tickets are just $10 and remain at our 2025 reduced price.
Free admission is available for EBT and SNAP cardholders, because no one should be excluded from joyful, restorative experiences due to financial constraints. Love, connection, and sanctuary belong to everyone.
Visitor Guidelines
• No food or drink for animals or humans may be brought to this event.
• Tickets are non-refundable. If the event is cancelled due to severe weather, it will be rescheduled or you may use your ticket at a future event. We’ll notify you via email and/or text if the event must be postponed.
• We cannot stay open later for late arrivals—please plan your visit accordingly.
• Each guest must have a ticket, regardless of age.
• Food and drink purchases are separate from ticket admission.
• No companion animals are allowed at the sanctuary, in cars, or on leashes—under any circumstances.
• Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary is a safe haven for animals rescued from abuse, neglect, slaughter, and exploitation. We do not breed or sell animals. Occasionally, rescues arrive already pregnant; they and their children will live out their lives here, never separated or used.
• This is not a petting zoo. Although many animals love gentle affection, they are not here for entertainment but for meaningful interaction with kind guests.
• You are visiting their home. Treat all residents with respect. Some animals prefer distance—please honor that. Do not chase, yell, or throw anything.
• Some residents are elderly or healing. Our care is guided by veterinary specialists, and what you see reflects what’s best for them, even if it looks unconventional.
• Follow all posted rules for everyone’s safety and comfort.
