Cuddle Therapy with Farm Animals Gains Popularity
community
Cuddle therapy involving farm animals such as cows, baby goats, lambs, piglets, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks is expanding as a niche market. Examples include Lester’s Farm Chalet in Newfoundland offering cow cuddling sessions and Rose Bridge Farm & Sanctuary in Pennsylvania offering baby cow cuddle sessions. Tokyo’s Mipig Cafe offers miniature pig cuddling for a fee.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
