Organizations Filed Purposes: We have created our demonstration gardens, outdoor educational areas, habitats for the rescued farm animals and a space for everyone to heal, relax and learn. Thousands of school children, many special needs groups and tens of thousands of guests passed through our gates to experience our farm during tours, events, field trips, classes, and picnics. We have discontinued our individual child care teaching programs to be able to facilitate teaching more people at one time. We have expanded our outdoor classrooms as well as focused on social media. Through these platforms, we have been able to promote responsibility, compassion, and empathy as well as teach self-reliance.

Celestial Farms is a place where everyone can heal, learn and grow. By giving people of all ages and abilities an opportunity to garden and interact with our rescued animals, they heal themselves and others, learn to be self-sufficient, respectful and more caring.

Farm animal rescue: Animals are brought in from many different sources and situations. Some are confiscated by the police due to lack of care or abuse. Some animals are surrendered by the owners because they are no longer wanted or they have found themselves no longer able to care for them. We offer the animals a safe space, rehabilitation, and socialization. These animals are adoptable if we can rehabilitate them, cleared by the vet and we find a suitable forever home for them. Guests can donate to their care or sponsor an animal. Expenses include feed, vet care, construction, and maintenance.

Educational Programs: Educational programs include field trips, classes for all ages, volunteers, home school support, and daily care for youth when there is no school. Children help feed, hay, water, clean and groom the animals as well as garden chores and enjoy the great outdoors. Expenses include educators, food, tee shirts, supplies, and activities.
