Heaven on earth is real. I saw it at rooterville. Hearing the stories of the various sweet souls living on that farm was even more eye-opening than I anticipated. The workers there are so very kind and patient, and the property is so peaceful. I will be visiting again and I WILL bring bananas for Tinsel.

Great place, most of the animal were easy to feed. One of the brand new pigs gave my daughter a tiny scratch. We should have tried to feed the pig first before she did(Parenting fail). The staff was so nice and we will be back!

A wonderful experience! We stayed in a wagon overnight and it was awesome! All the animals there were saved from imminent death.. Thanks to Elaine, the owner, for taking them all in and loving them endlessly ???
