Our most cherished event of the year, the IFS Spring Pignic, is returning in 2023 for its best edition yet! On Saturday, May 20th 2023, join us for a fun-filled day benefitting the more than 140 rescued farm animal residents who call IFS home.

This year’s event will include a vegan picnic-style meal catered by Veggie Reaper, an epic silent auction, a panel discussion on starting and running a sanctuary courtesy of Sarah from Lancaster Farm Sanctuary, Wendy from Odd Man Inn and our very own Shawn of IFS, live music performed by Ben Schmidt, backyard games, a raffle, and the opportunity to walk our one-mile trail and interact with the residents. Guests will receive swag bags full of goodies upon arrival and have exclusive first-time access to brand new merchandise in our store.
