Charlie's Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary is a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and lifelong care of farm animals. Located on a working sanctuary property, Charlie's Acres offers educational and therapeutic experiences that connect visitors with rescued animals and share their stories. The sanctuary operates guided tours, bilingual programming, meditation sessions, and seasonal events that center animal welfare and community engagement.
Visitors can choose from a variety of experiences, including guided community tours that allow guests to walk among residents and learn about their backgrounds and ongoing needs. A Spanish-language tour provides the same 1.5-hour guided experience for Spanish-speaking guests. Sheep Meditation sessions offer a calm, restorative setting where participants spend time with rescued sheep under instructor guidance. Seasonal family-friendly events - such as a Halloween celebration with costumes, scavenger hunts, and interactive activities - raise awareness and support for the sanctuary’s mission.
Charlie's Acres emphasizes transparency, safety, and humane care. Staff and trained volunteers supervise all public interactions to protect animals and visitors.
