A ten-acre sanctuary in Asheville, NC
We’ve been home to rescued farm animals since 2000. Our volunteer-run sanctuary provides lifelong shelter, veterinary care, and compassionate rehabilitation for goats, pigs, sheep, chickens, geese, and other animals in need. Visitors can meet the animals, explore the sanctuary, shop our Thrift Store, and join us for community events.
