After more than a year, Ross Mill Farm has finally reopened! COVID guidelines are being enforced, you cannot walk around the place on your own like before. Instead, tours will be given. However, they are not available/given every weekend, so make sure to call beforehand. The maximum group size cannot exceed six people. And the requested payment is $50/group. Keep in mind the farm is a non-profit organization, and they have been closed over a year, so your $50 would really go a long way in helping support their efforts. Our group of three followed Susan, the founder, who gave us an in-depth tour of the farm. Even though we've been there a few times already, we were learning so much about the different types of pigs, and the farm's history. We were allowed to pet the pigs, but only the ones specified by Susan, as some pigs are just not as friendly and could bite. The whole tour lasted an hour-ish. Towards the end of the tour, Susan let us play with the smaller pigs in the larger pen for a good amount of time which we all loved. Looking forward to our next visit, and upcoming events in the future! read more

I have a close friend that loves pot belly pigs and all things cute, so we decided to surprise her by attending the 1 pm tour this past Saturday. This went above and beyond our expectations! We all had a special and wonderful time! Susan is a leading expert on pig behavior and you can tell that the pigs love her. There are over 160 pigs here over dozens of acres. They definitely all have their own personalities and plenty of space. The farm itself was gorgeous and we walked around to see all the pigs. Some of the more social ones are permitted to roam about the premises and love saying hello. There's also an indoor boarding house with a piglet room. If you're looking to try a new experience and support a unique fun and silly nonprofit that does a world of good, I encourage you to visit! read more

Down at the bottom of Walton Road, Warwick Township, Bucks County, PA, lies perhaps the most enchanted spot in all of Pennsylvania. Ross Mill Farm has been a secret haven since originally started before the Revolutionary War in 1740. The lane is narrow and full of dips and rough riding, but so very worth the effort to find, especially if you love adaptive reuse of an historic property turned into a rescue home and boarding facility exclusively for Vietnamese Pot Belly Pigs. 180+ residents live there now, either from broken homes or as paying customers, housed there because it is simply the best place on the planet for happy, healthy PBPs. The 30 acres are idyllic for humans, too, but the facilities are designed by the owner from the perspective of an intelligent animal that stands little more that 18 inches from the ground. To truly interact with the residents you really have to get down on your knees, because these cuties lack the ability to look up at you. So, the world is very short, but expansive at Ross Mill Farm. The green lawns and gardens are perfectly suited for a pig. And, for people who love them. This amazing patch of heaven on the Little Neshaminy Creek is as magic as you want it to be. I found it easy to get lost in the peaceful magic of the moment. Make a donation and help it last forever. read more

I really enjoyed touring/walking around the facility and grounds. Angel was so incredibly informative and sweet. She answered all our questions and you could tell how much she loved and cared for all the pot belly pigs that were there. They open at noon, and PLEASE realize that some do roam freely around when pulling in and parking. Also, there is a dog and a kitty that roam around. There is absolutely no feeding any of the animals there. They are on a strict diet of wheat and grains. They will gladly accept old blankets and towels. There is no fee to come and walk around but they graciously accept donations and will also give you a form for tax purposes. You are able to walk around freely and they do have se rules, such as not petting any of the ones in the pens. No touching or petting their heads or faces incase they try to bite you, apparently its more shocking then them actually hurting you but it is in your best intersect not to. No feeding and do not open any of the crates/pens. I could not believe how sweet they were. They even claim you and rub up against your legs. I wore capri gym pants and some even gave me kisses on my legs. I was surprised to how coarse some of the hair on them was. They had a room with piglets, they were adorable and like to eat/untie your sneakers. You can board your pet pig here, purchase one or surrender one. They are the only pig rescue around. Such a great way to spend some time with these cuties and help them out too ( with a donation ) read more

Visiting Ross Mill's Farm was the highlight of my summer. Susan is so knowledgeable and I learned a lot about pigs, their habits, personality, and their needs. I had a great time. The tour was delightful and I found it relaxing to spend time in nature, learn, and hang out with some of the cutest pigs ever. Great place to visit! read more

5 star farm! My wife and I came to Ross Mill after doing some research on the facility. We've ordered a couple of things online prior to visiting. We found a piglet we were interested in and drove up to meet her. Patty was our "guide" and talked about the farm, the work they do and all the piggies that live there. She was was awesome! Answered all our questions and let us sit with the piglets before choosing one. Apparently, a female pig, Daisy was surrendered that morning and Susan (the owner) wanted us to meet her. It was love at first sight! Daisy is our 2nd pig at home and she is wonderful. We are so glad to have adopted her. If you are thinking of a pig for your home...please consider Ross Mill Farm. Adopt don't shop! read more

I began pestering to visit this pig sanctuary after a friend told me about a music festival held here, where there were "actual pet pigs walking all over the place." Thus began my research about this farm as well as my ongoing admiration for pigs, said to be fourth in intelligence after humans, apes, and porpoises. Others compare them to a four-year-old child in terms of temperament and smarts. Perhaps it is my long line of agrarian genes on both sides that contributed to my immense enjoyment of this farm, despite my lack of outdoorsiness. :-) Ross Mill is a beautiful working farm (built in 1740) that boards pet pigs when their owners are away, takes in pigs for adoptions, and does just about every other kind of pig advocacy. Plenty of house pigs wander the farm freely, just like I was told and was delighted to see as we drove up. Volunteers run this non-profit. There is a general store and also a restored 1690-built cabin for rent. The main house has indoor/outdoor facilities for the pigs, many of whom were sleeping on blankets when we looked in. Others outside in pens quickly ran over, grunting greetings (and to see if we had any food?) -- but pigs are also just friendly and curious. They are herd animals and like being with others. I had never seen so many pigs in my life and felt happy knowing that none of them would meet a violent end. A white piglet named Nellie was busy nibbling fresh grass, but she was happy to let me pet her -- she followed us around as we checked out the place, which the volunteers did not mind us doing, despite the fact that they were preparing the cabin for the weekend. (I learned not to touch the hooves though, bad pig etiquette on my part.) I tried to lift Nellie just a little to see how heavy she was and learned that pigs are much denser than dogs or cats; even a small pig weighs twice as much as they appear to. A large black pig (who seemed to be an old man; and he had tusks, as the males do) also came over, then five friendly dogs showed up to get in on the petting. I spotted a ginger horse in the barn; she came over to the fence too. The animals are Disney-cartoon friendly here. As we walked around inside the main house, the pigs began rustling around and excitedly squealing, and we thought we had upset them. It wasn't us -- it was mealtime, and they heard the guy coming up on his golf cart with all the food. The farm makes its own pig food which looks like oatmeal. Some of the pigs stood up in their indoor stalls and bellowed, unable to contain their excitement about dinner. I can relate. It was quite a commotion, and we learned that pigs can make a lot of different -- and loud -- sounds. The cabin is just down the road, so we stopped on our way out to take a look. The weekend guests were already there and were nice enough to let us stick our heads into the small but charming space, with room for 4 upstairs, a kitchen, fireplace, dining area, and a picnic table outside. It is $120 a night. A small family winery is next door. Bring your GPS is you have one, because it is easy to get lost in the woods, even though this farm is close to Doylestown, New Hope, and many other great things. Oink! read more

I'll start by saying the work they do there taking care of those pigs is absolutely wonderful. They all seem like wonderful caring people, especially Susan. I took my pet pig Hank here yesterday. When I initially booked hanks appointment our reason for really going there was for a bath and a hoof trim, then I was informed that their special vet would be there so I made an appointment with her as well because I was assured they don't put pigs under to do work on them (which is a huge issue for me since many pigs die after being put under). I asked for pricing on the phone and was told everything including the bath, hoof trim, and vet visit which included the shots would be under $200. We live about 2 hours away so we made an appointment for around 330-4, we got there around 415 and were treated like we were hours late. I told them repeatedly on the phone when I booked to allow us some extra time because we've never been there before and we live so far away. Well apparently they didn't care. We were denied a bath (which was our main reason for even making the treck out there) because we were "sooooo" late. The vet did see us, though we were told she was minutes away from leaving. She was wonderful but veryyyyyy expensive. She charged me a 200$ flat fee to just look at Hank. Ended up having to give him gas, even though I really didn't want it. (He was being absolutely impossible so I can understand her justification behind it.) She trimmed his hooves and tusks and gave him 3 shots and that was it. All of which my hometown vet could've done for half the price and no travel time. However, I did feel a lot more comfortable at ross mills than I would've with my vet doing the work and putting him under. Unfortunately, by the time I walked out of there my bill was $390 and we didn't even get the bath!! (110$ of which was for food for Hank). However, like I said in the beginning it is a wonderful place and the work they do there for those pigs is out of this world amazing. They're such devoted people. I wouldn't have minded the bill as much if it went to the farm as a donation, but it went to the vet who doesn't even work there. I do plan on returning next year. The knowledgeable staff is absolutely worth the price. :) read more

Ross Mill Farm - Hank loves his hoof trim :) - Pet Adoption Near Me - Rushland, Pennsylvania

Was not happy with the conditions my pig was left in. Had to make a separate living quarters for her and muck myself when I visited. After leaving the tri State area, I was never informed of her illness or passing. Never knew what happened. If she died naturally or was put to sleep. Still unanswered questions. read more

We have visited the Pig Placement Network's booth at A-Day at Delaware Valley College for 2 years in a row and can't wait to attend the annual PiggyPalooza benefit at Ross Mill Farm this June 22. Ross Mill Farm (outside of D-town in Rushland, PA) serves as an educational facility, foster care and sanctuary for pet potbellied pigs. The pigs are so smart, friendly and cute. Our 8 year old fell in love instantly. We are big fans of the valuable work they do here - and making sure that ignorant people don't adopt pigs only to give them up after a few months. An excellent resource. read more

This is more than a farm, this is truly a sanctuary. I cant say enough amazing things about susan, patty, bill, ben, and every single person at Ross Mill Farm who goes far and beyond to not only accommodate your pet, but also make sure you are comfortable and informed. It is a 100% symbiotic relationship and i honestly can't say enough good things about this place. If youre looking for an experience where your pet is treated with respect and compassion, this is the right place to go. I am so incredibly grateful that i found Ross Mill Farm read more

Hi everyone. My name is Dove Scott. I feel compelled to respond/comment on Remy M.'s post. When you make an appointment for "around" (hard to believe) 3:30/4:00 and then show up "around " 4:15, you are being incredibly rude as well as being a brat. You live "so far away". Really? I live 4 1/2 hours away and wouldn't dream of being late as these wonderful people need to adhere to a scheduled timeline since, I don't know, they take care of a bajillion orphaned pigs! Get a grip lady. These are some of the most wonderful, giving people you will ever meet. read more

About 4 years ago I had to give up a pig that I could not care for. I found Ross Mill Farms and made the arrangements for him to live there until he was adopted. I surrendered my rights and signed necessary paperwork. When I would go back to volunteer or visit I would receive a horrible attitude from Susan, the owner. She treated me terribly because I had to surrender my pig even though I was there to help clean out stalls, wash dishes, or do basically whatever she needed. I would rather have my pig happy (he was adopted and lives on a beautiful farm), then unhappy with what could have given him. I've seen her be very pleasant to other people on the farm but she was always rude and dismissive to me. So I guess treatment depends on what side of the fence you are on or what political party you vote for (she made it clear that she dislikes any conservatism). I'm happy my pig is happy but I don't care for her. read more
