*I
deleted
my
previous
negative
review
of
The
Gentle
Barn
(California)
after
they
contacted
me
to
make
things
right
with
a
miscommunication
on
their
part
over
a
previous
re-scheduled
visit.
This
is
my
updated
review
of
this
location.
We
visited
The
Gentle
Barn
on
April
16th
with
no
trouble
finding
parking
within
the
grounds
itself.
It
happened
to
be
a
beautiful
day
and
the
heat
was
tolerable
until
noon
approached,
then
it
got
hotter.
I'd
recommend
a
hat
and
bring
bottled
water.
Snacks,
vegan
hot
dogs,
and
some
drinks
are
available
on-site
and
there
are
picnic
tables
available.
Their
website
specifies
what
foods
not
to
bring
onto
the
grounds.
Overall
the
experience
was
enjoyable.
The
staff
were
friendly
and
did
their
best
to
answer
questions
we
may
have
had
about
the
animals'
background.
I
enjoyed
brushing
the
cows,
along
with
meeting
Sky,
one
of
the
service
dogs
who
was
actually
a
buddy
/
partner
to
one
of
the
young
cows
(John
Lewis
Thunderheart).
I
had
a
great
time
in
the
next
area
meeting
and
coming
in
contact
with
a
mixed
group
of
animals.
It
was
therapeutic,
sensing
the
calm
energy
of
the
wonderful
animals
I
came
in
contact
with.
From
the
likes
of;
Queen
Joni
(llama),
Earl
(emu),
Tulip
(chicken),
Molli,
Humble,
and
Jellie
(pigs),
Brave,
Compassion,
Lennon,
Paloma,
Romeo,
and
especially
Sun
(turkeys).
We
concluded
our
tour
with
the
horses,
where
I
received
a
kiss
from
Magic
which
was
a
funny
experience!
As
we
made
our
way
to
the
exit,
we
dropped
by
the
gift
shop
and
made
a
couple
purchases
to
end
our
great
day.
I
would
recommend
paying
this
location
a
visit.
Enjoy
the
experience,
and
appreciate
what
the
staff
and
volunteers
are
providing
for
these
animals,
a
forever
home.
