When we engage and nurture life around us, we discover the power to restore balance within ourselves.

At Open Farms, we harness the power of hands-on farming activities and the healing connection with the land and animals for people of all abilities. We care for rescued animals, grow nourishing gardens and serve as stewards of the soil, creating a space where everyone can contribute and thrive in harmony with nature.

At Open Farms, our rescued animals are at the heart of what we do. From goats to pigs, to donkeys, to chickens, every animal is given the care and compassion they deserve, creating a safe and nurturing environment. Learn more about how we care for them and how you can be part of their journey to healing.

Volunteers, donors, patrons, and our community fuel the work we do at Open Farms. Without the support of our family, friends, and neighbors, we just could not exist. If you are interested in becoming part of our family, sign up to volunteer! We are always looking for folks to support our mission with a variety of different roles needed! Whatever talents you possess, we can find a place for you!

“"Some days, it’s hard to even get out of bed, but knowing the animals are waiting for me gets me moving. They don’t care if I’m having a rough day—they just need me. Being here gives me peace. The farm, the animals, the people here... I’m part of something good.”
