I’m going on Sunday because I need some therapy. Animals are the exact thing I need.

Thanks for giving these animals beautiful & safe life.

This is so satisfying. I only wish I had got into it when I was younger. Beats the rat race of the city any day.
Being with a cow and the hugs is real love at it's best.

I visited The Gentle Barn a few weeks ago, am planning a return trip. Well worth the three hour drive for me.

I've been there three times now. Always a great time.

I am 74 years old, and in poor health. I have been alone for 54 years. Sadly, I have never had anyone to love, who would love me back. I would do love to try this however I am in Washington state. I have been in constant pain, without relief, for over 30 years. I am not thriving. I am languishing. Hugging a cow sounds so incredible! ❤❤❤

I'd love to hug a cow. Cows are one of my many favorite animals, besides horses. I love them. They're amazing animals. I might make it my comfort therapy after I get to try it for the first time.
