Vegan Farmstay & Farm Sanctuary
This Summer, Piebird celebrates 13 years of being a vegan agri-tourism destination for loving people like you and a happy home for animal-persons!
After twelve years we are feeling very grateful for all the wonderful humans who have come stayed, and added to the love that lives here.
We really appreciate the support and the kindness communicated. This has allowed us to grow first into a vegan agri-tourism destination (and be a voice in the food revolution) -- and then grow into a farm sanctuary to live in service to animal-persons.
Everything Piebird does is a celebration: a celebration of animal-friends, a celebration of real food, a celebration of the resilience of community, a celebration of standing up for goodness, and a celebration of the Earth. Come be a part of this celebration, come be a part of the Peace that is Piebird.
