Pennsylvania Farm Offers Stress Relief Through Cow Hugging

Pennsylvania - A unique program at a Pennsylvania farm is offering a novel way to alleviate stress: hugging a cow. For a fee of $55, visitors can spend time cuddling with a cow, a therapeutic experience that has attracted over 600 people in just six months.

The farm, owned by the Carter family, has drawn participants from as far away as Hawaii, Alaska, Budapest, the Netherlands, and Canada. Reagan Carter, a member of the family, shared her delight in seeing visitors benefit from their interactions with the animals.

“We love seeing our visitors enjoy their experience with the cows,” Carter said, highlighting the positive feedback from participants who have found comfort and relaxation through this unusual therapy.
