Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe and loving place for farm and domestic animals that are in need of a home that would otherwise be deemed un-adoptable or a lost cause. We are home to many animals that require more attention, special care, or mobility assistance.

In the event that an individual in unable to care for an animal, we would much rather be contacted to assist in proper placement. This includes but not limited to, farmed and domesticated animals with congenital and injury related deformities.

We want to give students an alternative outcome for their raised animals, With an end goal to diminish lethal livestock barters, we would encourage live sales to companion only homes. Educating and providing alternative options to fatal auctions of farmed animals. Such as weed abatement/fire prevention jobs, cruelty-free petting zoos, natural agricultural ground tilling and fertilization, companion/emotional support animals. Working with local fairground auctioneers, changing rules to allow the option of live sales. Helping kids learn about caring for creatures, rewarding them for doing so, while saving the lives of many.

Helping diminish euthanasia rates in California animal shelters by rehabilitating and adoption of domestic and farmed animals. While educating the public about animal friendly lifestyle choices.

Farm animals have so much love to give. Just like cats or dogs they are capable of emotions and so much personality.

Did you know you can train a goat to do tricks just like a dog?

In addition to being an animal rescue and advocate of their plight, we strive to become a sustainable, eco-friendly and replicable urban farming model on our single-acre plot. Our animals help till the ground to incorporate amendments, create fresh fertilizer, and encourage new growth. Growing with all-organic practices, without the use of chemical or synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Vegetables, fruits, and herbs will be food for our animals and donating the over-abundance back to our community. By growing our own food, it helps decrease the cost of feed and allocate donations to be used for medical and infrastructure.

In time, we would love to provide resources and lessons for others on how to grow their own produce in an organic, eco-friendly, self-sustainable way.
