About the ranch

Conservation through Education.

The animal ranch journey began in 2006 when our family decided to raise alpacas and the children joined 4-H. Each child wanted to show a different species, and we ended up with a variety of different animals. We then realized that there was a need for farm animal education and started our mobile outreach program.

Not long after that people started donating unwanted animals to our farm, and we expanded our program to include exotic animals. We are very proud to be a privately funded, fully insured company holding all required licenses for exhibiting and owning exotic animals.

What guests say

Best money ever spent.

That was the best money I have ever spent! We had the best time with the animals! Scott was so friendly and answered so many questions and shared so much interesting information!

Our first llama yoga experience was lovely and surprising! Very friendly staff and the combination of yoga and a farm tour was really worth our money!

Sue M. · beautifulcreaturesanimalranch.com

Such a wonderful experience with friendly and gracious hosts. The animals all have such unique stories and personalities, and it was such a joy getting to interact with them.
