Next On-Site Event – November 7th

Bring a pumpkin. Make a little mess. Give someone a very good day.

Join us in the pastures for our annual Pumpkin Smash, where you can crack open a pumpkin for the pigs, goats, cows, water buffaloes, yaks, alpacas, llamas, sheep, and turkeys. Some residents will dive right in; others may take their time investigating this strange orange gift. You’ll be visiting them in their home, and they get to choose whether to come say hello.

PUMPKIN RULES: Please bring only fresh, uncarved, unpainted pumpkins. We cannot accept pumpkins that are soft, squishy, or moldy. Each guest may bring one pumpkin into the animal enclosures; we’ll save any extras for the residents to enjoy later.

HAY! Can YOU Help?

We need your help as donations have declined significantly over the last year. As Broken Shovels is a private non-profit, we do not receive financial support from any government agency. Our animals rely on the support of kind individuals like you. Will you help us make sure we can continue to provide 500 farm animals with food, safety and shelter?
