Read at the Rescue

Looking for a simple, meaningful way to get your child excited about reading?
Join us at Winding Branch Ranch for a relaxed, one-hour experience where children can bring a book, find a cozy spot, and read aloud to our friendly farm animals.

From curious goats and gentle chickens to our famously attentive pigs, our animals make the perfect, judgment-free audience. This open-format experience is designed to help children build confidence, enjoy the outdoors, and form special connections with animals.
There’s no formal instruction—just a peaceful space to slow down, read, and enjoy nature.
Ages: 5-10 Years
Free to attend, donations appreciated

Donations directly support the care of our rescue animals and help us continue providing accessible educational experiences for children and families.
