| - BARN BUDDIES RESCUE is a nonprofit organization that advocates for the humane treatment of animals. This organization rescues thousands of unwanted and neglected animals every year. They use their own money to feed, vaccinate, and shelter everything from large barn mammals, to household pets. This is a giant facility, but the smaller area which is accessible to the public is named THE FARM.
Not only does the farm create a sanctuary for animals in need, but the owners use this facility to help children with autism, intellectual developmental issues, and even foster kids. Every kid I have brought here has loved it so much that they wanted to volunteer.
Remember that the eggs sold here are organic. These farm eggs are always going to be more expensive than supermarket eggs. When I lived in San Diego county, chicken farming was once one of the biggest industries in the areas surrounding Julian Mountain. I remember driving two hours to get 12 eggs for like $6.00. It is a standard price for such high quality fertile eggs.
Also remember that they have Duck Eggs here and they are the only place in Clark County where you can purchase them. Duck Eggs are a southern tradition in baking. If used in cakes it will produce a much superior product.
Like I mentioned this sanctuary provides compassion and welfare to every animal without discrimination. They have rescued large farm animals such as Hazel and Mabel(the two dairy cows), and Violet(the pot belly pig). They have also rescued smaller animals such as cats, birds, goats, rabbits, and even a toad! Earlier today a lady brought brought her beloved pet chickens because her home owners association attempted to foreclose her house if she didn't get rid of them. Many of the burros and horses are also adopted animals who were victims of abuse and neglect, or forced eviction from HOAs.
Can an individual honestly feel that they possess the entitlement or position to criticize a nonprofit organization in which the owners spend their own hard earned money(from their day jobs) to protect the welfare of animals in need? Sorry that they don't have blackjack and video poker here? Sorry that they don't have Taiwanese snow cream here? But, when I sit here with my foster kids, I frequently see people complain about the $1.00 entry fee. Are people here in Vegas really that broke? Or is it that you all want everything to be free and subsidized by the government? Are all people in NW Vegas really like this? http://youtu.be/NzspsovNvII?t=1m4s
I want to conclude this review by thanking the two owners for helping my foster kids on so many occasions. Your compassion to our community is a much valued resource to those in need, and I have seen a world of difference in these children since they started coming to your farm.
