LIMITED TICKET EVENT!Bring an UNCARVED, UNPAINTED pumpkin to smash for the animals! This is our most exciting and merry event of the year, come in costume or come as you are, just remember goats and little moos love to chew on fancy or interesting looking clothes. This is a magical event for all ages, including a tarot reader, a spin-the-wheel prize game and face painting! Plus some extra trick-or-treats!
We will also be celebrating National Hug A Sheep Day, and will have visitors from Pro Animal Future here to talk about the ways you can use your voice for animals in November, especially sweet sheep!
This is an occasion to foster meaningful interaction between our human visitors and our beloved rescued farm animals, and one of the rare events where you can actually feed them. Your visit will find you inside the animal enclosures, so please wear appropriate foot coverings and be ready for some hugs, as well as dirt and mud.
PUMPKIN REQUIREMENTS:
Must be UNCARVED AND UNPAINTED ONLY! This isnt the place to recycle your decorated jack-o-lanterns, let your neighborhood wildlife do that.
One pumpkin per person may be brought into the animal enclosures, so we don't overfeed, but you are welcome to bring as many as you'd like to leave with us to hand out in the days and weeks to come.
Kids Table, maker of the most incredible loaded mac n cheeses will be onsite with delicious lunch options available for purchase separate from the ticket price.

Visitor Guidelines:
Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary is a safe place for animals rescued from abuse, neglect, slaughter and exploitation. We do not breed or sell animals. Occasionally, animals are rescued already pregnant and they and their children will live out their lives here, never to be separated, sold or used.
This place is not a petting zoo. Although the animals love being pet and loved by our visitors, they are not here to be entertainment, but to enjoy meaningful interaction with caring guests.
You have been invited into our animals safe space. We expect you to treat them with kindness and respect. You are visiting their home; they are not here for human entertainment. Not every animal is going to be friendly. Please leave them alone if they do not want attention. Do not chase, yell or throw anything at the animals.
Understand that there are animals here in various stages of aging and/or recovery from injury or illness. We work with a vast network of veterinary specialists that provide the best care for the animals. Your perception of conditions of what is considered acceptable may not actually be in the best interest of the animal or parallel what our care-taking priorities are. We welcome any questions you have about the animals.
Please follow posted rules for the safety and comfort of the animals and other visitors.
