Farm Animal Refuge

A 501(c)(3) rescue in the San Diego County backcountry for abused, neglected and slaughter-bound farm animals, with more than 70 residents including pigs, goats, turkeys and chickens. Visits are by arrangement: private two-hour tours, periodic open houses and free educational field trips, plus a volunteer program.

Sanctuaries are homes for rescued animals, not attractions. Most run on volunteers and donations, so check the website for visiting days and what they need before you go.
