2008 California Country Hoe Down
May 3, 2008

Yee-haw! It's Country Hoe Down time!

Farm Sanctuary cordially invites you and yours to our good old-fashioned Country Hoe Down-a rootin' tootin' weekend of animal-friendly activities. Join other animal lovers for this one-of-a-kind conference and get inspired to do more for farm animals in need.

An event for all ages and activist levels, the Hoe Down features distinguished guest speakers who move and motivate attendees with presentations on current farm animal issues, campaigns and advocacy efforts, as well as workshops on health, the environment, social justice, and more!

But the Hoe Down isn't all work and no play. Guests are also encouraged to hop on a hayride, visit friendly farm animals, and leisurely stroll around our beautiful sanctuary grounds. As the sun begins to set in the evening, participants will commune for a vegan feast, delight in the company of fellow animal advocates, and "get down" at a barn dance.

On Sunday morning, guests can come back for a second round of fun. Sunday activities include a vegan continental breakfast and free guided tours of the farm. Tours are offered on the hour. The first tour begins at 10 a.m. The last begins at 3 p.m. Our cruelty-free gift shop will also be open throughout the day. See the official event program.

So put on your cow-friendly boots, grab a partner and join us for this exciting affair! The Hoe Down conference costs $35 per person and $15 for children and includes the catered dinner and barn dance. Register today! Free, rustic camping is available on the farm for Saturday night and reasonably-priced hotel accommodations are only a short drive from the shelter.
