Blue Iris Farm Rescue & Retreat

The Herd's Hello

Come walk with the herd

There's something quietly magical about spending time with animals who have been given a second chance. Come meet them — on a walk, a tour, or a full day on the farm.

Simple. Joyful. Unforgettable.

The Herd's Hello is our collection of accessible, drop-in-friendly farm experiences. No retreat required — just show up, slow down, and let the animals do the rest.

From our beloved Walk with the Herd to full-day farm stays, these experiences are perfect for families, couples, friend groups, and anyone who needs a reminder of what it feels like to be fully present.
