Edgar’s Mission
📍 Lancefield, VIC
Not-for-profit farm sanctuary in Lancefield, one hour north of Melbourne, rescuing and caring for farm animals. Guided tours tell the individual stories of resident animals. Premium tour available for closer interaction.
I took a group of friends to Edgar’s for my birthday and I was so glad I did! The team were so warm, friendly and informative. The chance to interact with these beautiful animals was so special and learning about their life history, the legacy of Edgar’s Mission and the best ways to support these animals was brilliant. The tour guides are so informed and you can tell how much they love these animals! Inspired me to come back to volunteer sometime!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 6 and up who are curious about animal welfare and want an experience beyond a standard farm visit. The individual animal stories give children specific things to connect with. The premium tour is consistently recommended as worth the upgrade.
