Farm Sanctuary hosts an annual summer “Hoe Down”, an event that draws hundreds of visitors for a weekend of education, comradery, good food, dancing, and time spent with rescued animals. Each year the event boasts a lineup of popular speakers on the topics of animal rights, activism, plant-based eating, sociology, and health. On Saturday evening, there is a country dance in the education centre.

Those pigs became the first residents of this fledgling sanctuary. As of 2021, more than 50 non-human individuals now reside at SAFE, one of only two farm animal sanctuaries in Quebec.
