Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary

We encourage everyone to come meet the residents of CCFS and see that these animals are no different than the companion animals we all call friends. CCFS hosts monthly tours and several public events per year to facilitate such interactions.

CCFS has two facilities. The first is the original Critter Creek in Gainesville, Florida: a 210-acre farm sanctuary and wildlife preserve we purchased in 2015. Approximately 125 acres of the Critter Creek facility, with its forests and natural springs, is a dedicated wildlife preserve. The second facility is Critter Hills, a 200-acre ranch and hay farm just up the road from Critter Creek in Alachua, Florida. Thankfully, with the addition of the Critter Hills facility, CCFS now has enough space to house and care for a fairly large herd. We aren’t just a cow rescue, though--ten donkeys, 20 pigs, three turkeys, 12 horses, a bison, and a very demanding water buffalo also call CCFS home.
