Stacey and Jim are honoured you have thought of us and the rescue animals, here at Wishing Well Experience. The Sanctuary is a place of well being. Our guests who stay overnight help support and fund the care of the animals. A two night stay feeds the cows for 4 days! We encourage guests to spend time visiting and learning about the animals. As this is an animal sanctuary, we encourage you to please bring plant based foods out of respect for the farm animals that call this home. This is truly an experience you won’t forget.
