What a great place! I was looking at the reviews and there is only one that’s bad, which kinda frustrates me cause ppl need to have their facts before pointing a finger…. This is fun positive , well taken care of farm! These animals are so blessed to have such kind and big hearted people looking after them. They look happy and healthy and what a wonderful gift to give these sweet animals!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My son got incredibly ill with campylobacter from the animals here. If you go make sure to not touch the animals or eat any food while on the property. Even if you bring it from home. The animals are very dirty and not well taken care of. They don’t have very much room and many of them look ill.

Kylie, I'm sorry you had that experience at Gardner Village. Our animals have not been there for the past 2 and a half years. It is run by a different organization. We still rescue farm animals on a private facility, and take them to various locations (daycare, medical facilities, treatment centers, etc.) to provide opportunities for people to interact with them. Please reach out with any questions you may have (801-706-8189).

This is such a wonderful place and they do important work in caring for abused and abandoned farm animals. We used to visit them very often when they were still at Gardner Village. Currently the farm is pretty much taken care of by the owner. This is such a hard work as this place has a ton of animals. The owner is very friendly and caring and he has a great heart for those animals. We learned more about cows, sheep, and horses. They may be moving soon and we hope the owner finds a good place. We will visit again!
