    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach out to us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Most of the residents on the farm were surrendered to us by previous owners that can longer care for their animal for various reasons. 


    Because we are a small, private sanctuary, we are not able to take in most turtles. Intake is extremely limited and usually focused on unusual species or circumstances. We will always do our best to help by providing care advice, resources, and guidance.


    Contact us to set up a tour! Tours are done by appointment only, so please reach out so we can get you on the schedule!


    Tours last an hour and you will get up close and personal with nearly every resident here. Take pictures with and even feed some of our larger friends!


    With over 100 residents on the farm, necessities can get costly. Food, lighting, filters, heat in the winter and vet bills can add up. We are always appreciative of donations and will occasionally ask for volunteer help during renovations and spring clean up!
