About this event
Private tours allow you to choose how you spend your visit and who will join you. If you want to hang with the pigs, that is your choice. If you want to bring that special someone and no one else, that is great, too. Private tours are also a fabulous fit for families with very young children. It is YOUR tour! We offer standing time slots but are happy to work with you to find a time if these aren't preferable--email us at info@rosiesfarmsanctuary.org.
If you don't have something else in mind, during the 90-minute private tour, our tour guide will introduce you to our resident sheep, goats, cows, pigs, mini horses, and chickens. The guide will share the animal’s stories of rescue and help you learn more about farmed animals and the challenges they face. You will hear about these beautiful and affectionate creatures while also being able to pet the animals and enjoy the scenic landscape.
Frequently asked questions
We are a working farm animal sanctuary, so expect to walk up to a quarter of a mile on semi-rough surfaces, potentially get dirty, and be exposed to natural weather (rain, heat, wind) elements.
We will be walking in animal pastures, so wear closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. Boots are preferable, but any closed-toe shoe will do. As you will be interacting with the animals, we recommend washable materials and no dangling (scarves or long necklaces) items.
We encourage you to bring a filled water bottle during the summer months as it gets hot! We have limited shade and coverings. We sometimes have gnats in the summer months, so a brimmed hat, sunglasses, or umbrella may be helpful. Sunscreen is also suggested. We encourage you to bring your camera.
Please do not bring any food or yummy-smelling items on your body or in your bag on the tour as our animals love to eat and are on special diets. As much as we love all animals, please do not bring your dog or other pet to Rosie’s as it will cause disruption to our resident animals.
After your tour, you are welcome to continue your visit, at our picnic table. Out of respect for our animals, we do not allow any food with animal products to be consumed at Rosie’s Farm Sanctuary. Please ensure that all edible items are plant-based.
The Sanctuary is located at 10717 Tulip Lane, Potomac, MD 20854. When you arrive, park in the spaces provided and walk towards the gift shop, where you will see your tour guide. Please do not open the gate to the pasture without a tour guide present.
An adult must accompany all children under 15 unless arrangements are made in advance. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
A private tour will allow us to adjust our pace and content for families with young children. You may be asked to carry your child at certain points in the tour. Also, be aware that the rough ground is not suited to carriages.
We welcome everyone, but unfortunately, Rosie’s doesn’t have paved paths throughout the property at this time. We would be happy to customize a tour for those using wheelchairs or other mobility devices.
Tour fees are non-refundable, but we will reschedule if weather requires it.
