Moo & Brew 2026 is hosted at Historic Buck Run, a 92-acre permanent refuge for rescued farm animals in Chester County, PA. Because they run a rescue rather than a traditional event venue, gatherings here are deeply intentional. It is an immersive, unpretentious retreat dedicated to preservation, peace, and the grounding power of Mother Earth.

The event centers around The Barn, a massive, hand-hewn testament to 18th-century craftsmanship that reflects a strict commitment to authentic materials. From the original stone masonry to the towering timber frames, the historic architecture and surrounding landscape do the heavy lifting, requiring zero artificial decorating. Rather than building a modern venue, they restored a legacy. 

Just beyond the barn doors lies the farm's true heartbeat: the sanctuary. Historic Buck Run provides a lifelong, peaceful existence for animals needing a safe haven, and when rescues arrive, they are there for good. 

By joining Moo & Brew to support Brandywine Valley Active Aging, you step into their world—a place to unplug, experience the mental health benefits of the herd, and connect in a space that operates on a timeline completely detached from the outside noise.

A Permanent Refuge Located at Historic Buck Run, the sanctuary is a permanent refuge for rescued farm animals. It operates not as a public attraction, but as a private, lifelong home for animals that have been neglected, abandoned, or have simply aged out of their previous lives.

Connection & The Herd Historic Buck Run focuses on the profound mental health benefits of the herd and the grounding power of Mother Earth. The sanctuary provides a space where purpose-driven gatherings allow guests to unplug and connect. It is an environment that operates on a timeline completely detached from the outside noise.

The Rescue Mission They do not do adoptions, and they do not put these animals to work. The sanctuary provides a permanent pasture for rescue animals who have worked hard, been overlooked, or simply need a safe haven. These rescues—including their resident herd of Mediterranean miniature donkeys—are the true heartbeat of the farm. When they come through the gates, they are there for good.

We hope to see you at Moo & Brew.
