Travel from Home to a Relaxing Virtual Farm Sanctuary

If you can’t get away from home, there’s a virtual option that will give you a sense of peace. It’s an online “farm stay” at Farm Sanctuary, a farm animal sanctuary and advocacy organization with shelters in New York and California.

You can take a visit to the farm and live video streams on Explore.org, and tap into the soothing sights and sounds of their 275-acre New York Sanctuary at any time you like. They also have “virtual visits” on Facebook.

Popular viewing options are the “snuggle-fest” in the sheep barn, or catching the flock peeking out of the turkey barn. In addition to watching the live video, the sounds of the sanctuary are wonderfully relaxing.

The virtual farm is also good as a general background audio track for your day (or for nap-time): the gobble of turkeys, rain falling on a barn roof, or cows mooing in the distance.
