A Plant-Based Visit to Florida with Emma & John Hoel of Peacefield Farm Sanctuary

Send us Fan MailEmma & John Hoel own Peacefield Farm Sanctuary in Gainesville, Florida, just going on 5 years now. Before selling their house and moving from city life in Minneapolis, they took the time to volunteer at a local farm sanctuary to ensure that this is something they really wanted to commit to, as owning a farm sanctuary or any type of animal rescue is an every day, all hours of the day commitment.  The answer was a definitive YES for both of them and they set out to find the perfect property in a warmer climate!  They discovered a beautiful 30-acre property close to the University of Florida with a unique setting for farm animals and tourists alike including natural blue hole springs.There is a more significant underlying mission that these beautiful farm animals are just a part of. That mission is to create awareness around where our food is coming from, how it is being produced, and encouraging people to enjoy a more plant-based lifestyle.  This is what will ultimately save the lives of these beautiful animals.  Farm sanctuaries represent a small percentage of the lives saved. Emma & John want people to understand that every one of us can save a farm animal’s life without having to own a farm sanctuary.  We just have to modify how and what we consume each and every day.  That’s all it takes. Peacefield Farm hosts visitors at their Airbnb and also hosts sanctuary tours, plant-based cooking classes, and yoga classes..
