The Orchard Town CenterJuly Sanctuary Sunsets Evening Tour
As daylight softens and the pastures glow, Broken Shovels Farm Sanctuary offers an evening tour that moves with the rhythm of the residents. More than twenty species become active as the heat fades, creating a quiet window into their routines and the connections they share. Guests will walk through the sanctuary during golden hour, meet animals in their own spaces, observe how they relate to one another, and be present for the gentle close of the day as gates are secured, hay is set out for the night, and birds settle onto their roosts. Alpine Eatery will be onsite with dinner and beverages available for purchase, so the visit can become a full night out with friends or a meaningful pause in a busy season. To support the animals’ wellbeing, outside food or drinks are not permitted for people or animals, and companion animals are not allowed on the property or left in vehicles. Every attendee needs a ticket, regardless of age. Tickets are nonrefundable except when severe weather cancels the event. Please plan to arrive on time since hours cannot be extended, and note that any available food and drinks are sold separately. This is a sanctuary for animals rescued from abuse, neglect, slaughter, and exploitation. It is not a petting zoo. The residents are individuals with their own preferences, so move gently, let them choose the level of interaction, and respect their boundaries. Many are seniors, recovering, or living with chronic conditions, and their care follows long term plans with veterinary guidance.
