The Gentle Barn Foundation is home to over a hundred animals rescued from abuse.

The Gentle Barn is host to abused children, kids recovering from substance abuse, kids on probation, foster kids, and children and adults with mental, emotional, and physical challenges.

Through the interaction with animals, the kids learn forgiveness, courage, strength, leadership skills, trust, empathy, and kindness. The healing that takes place when the kids get together with the animals is miraculous.

  • Let me tell you, we LOVED this place. My kids and I went here on a Sunday afternoon. I we parked on the side of the road but they had plenty of parking. They even had little go carts to take you from your car to the barn. All the volunteers and workers were so sweet and very knowledgeable. It was so cool that all the animals had their own names and stories. I’m so glad that they were rescued and have such a pleasant home now. We were able to pet EVERYTHING!! That was so awesome to my 2 year old especially. It was such a nice and relaxed atmosphere too. This place is really legit. Such a great place to go with the fam or with some friends. They’re were people of all ages there enjoying themselves. That was really cool to see. Definitely going again. Love this place.
  • Beautiful opportunity if you are looking for a barn experience for your kids. Parking, guidance all done by volunteers as far as I saw. Vegan hot dogs and select drinks available as well as a free water fountain if you have bottles.
