Our Vision

To us Animals are Friends not Food!
We respect everyones own lifestyle choices in regards of what they believe, consume, and medicate.
This is a peaceful and safe place not only for 4- but also for 2-legged people, therefore everyone is welcome and not questioned about their lifestyle choices.
Please respect our vegan lifestyle and don’t bring animal products (i.e. meat, fish, dairy, eggs) on the property. Also no alcohol, drugs and smoking anywhere on the premisses.
THANK YOU!
