Visit the beautiful grounds and historic barns at the Mountain View Farm Animal Sanctuary
This Animal Refuge is Located in the Northeast Corner of VT

The Mountain View Farm Animal Sanctuary is located on a 440-acre historic farm estate that is also home to the Inn at Mountain View Farm, a 14-room inn and restaurant owned by sanctuary founder Dr. John Pastore and his wife, Marilyn. The area is also home to miles of hiking, biking and cross country ski trails as well as Burke Mountain Ski Area.

Tours of the Sanctuary are currently available by appointment only. We offer tours for individuals, small groups, families and school groups. Always call first, (802) 626-9924, to set up an appointment for a tour. There is no charge for a tour, but donations are appreciated.

At MVFAS, we seek to change people's perceptions about farm animals by offering them the chance to meet the animals face to face. Educational programs include special tours for school children focusing on educating young people about the suffering of farm animals in factory farms and zoos, as well as, the opportunity to witness the residents experiencing the joys of freedom unique to a sanctuary environment.
