Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary

About This Sanctuary

Applications are closed for LEAP Kids’ Summer Day Camp June 15-19th, 2026 for 4th-8th graders. Thanks for applying!

Since opening in 2016, Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary has welcomed over 200+ rescued farmed animals to live out their lives peacefully in community with one another. Individuals including cows, pigs, donkeys, horses, water buffalo, and one bison have joined us from various situations, each having their own impactful story to tell. Between both properties, CCFS also has over 400 acres dedicated to the preservation of Florida’s native plants and animals. Our ultimate mission is extending compassion to all life, no matter how big, small, furry, or feathered. We hope you please join us in witnessing the strength and resilience of all of our residents, in the gorgeous setting that is Alachua County, Florida.
