I brought a group of Adults with Special Needs from the Arc of Monmouth to the farm on 6/20/2025. It was a wonderful day for all! The farm's staff was kind, patient and informative. The adults really enjoyed themselves and talked about the experience all the way home! Stephanie was very easy to talk to as well as prompt with responses and nice!
This farm is something really special. You can tell from the moment you arrive how much heart, care, and thoughtfulness the entire team pours into everything they do. The staff and volunteers go above and beyond, not just in maintaining the farm itself, but in creating an environment that’s welcoming, enriching, and unforgettable for both kids and adults.
Every visit feels like a breath of fresh air. Whether it’s feeding the animals, walking through the gardens, or participating in one of their amazing events, you can feel how much time and energy has gone into creating something meaningful for the community. It’s really not just a farm, it’s a place where learning, connection, and joy happen every day. So grateful this exists locally!
This really is amazing place to bring your kids to. We did the sanctuary tour which required a small donation of $10 for adults and $5 for kids. It was well worth it. The girls who gave the tour were really knowledgeable and let us meet, feed, and pet almost all of the animals. We spent just over an hour there, but they let you hang out afterwards to spend more time with your favorite furry friends. We'll definitely be back soon!
My family has attended Easter on the Farm, Family Fun Day, and a private goat visit, all events were thoughtfully designed & true to the advertised descriptions. If you are looking for a real working farm/animal rescue this is your place. The staff & volunteers are knowledgable and friendly, making our experience top notch. Don’t expect any corn mazes or gimicky activities, this is an animal sanctuary filled with authentic animal experiences & good hearted, hardworking families! Go check out their next event and see for yourself, you’ll find the visit very rewarding.
And knowing the proceeds from all ticketed events go directly toward feeding and care for the rescue animals is money well spent!
If you like peaceful & family oriented nature experiences this is your new favorite spot! And children under 2 are always free!
Magnolia is truly amazing and what they do not only for my couples (I am a Wedding / Event Planner) but for these animals is so wonderful.
When I came up with the theme for my son’s first birthday party as first rodeo, I knew that I had to ask if I could hold it at their farm and Magnolia made it happen! Their tent was amazing, their space was perfect and everyone had the best time. I could not recommend them more!!
My children and I had so much fun at Easter on the Farm at the sanctuary! It was a very well-organized event with so much to do for the littles. It was also very clean and my toddler loved the meet and greet with the baby goats and sheep. You made his day! Thank you for such a memorable experience. We will definitely be back!
My family thoroughly enjoyed this weekend trip to the sanctuary! Each care giver is exceptionally graceful. Every horse, cow, goat, peacock, turkey, pig…the list goes on is very well taken care of. When a wild swan decides to make this place its home you know they’re doing something right. My two year old couldn’t get enough of the baby goat cuddles. Animal interactions are done in consideration to each animal’s needs. This sanctuary does a fantastic job at respecting the animals as well as caring for them. We loved it so much we plan to return for Easter. Come with love and the animals and care givers will return it ten-fold.
I have been volunteering at Acres at Magnolia Equine Rescue and Sanctuary for quite some time, and I am happy to report that everyone is so welcoming and kind there. All the animals love getting attention, whether you're there to groom, or muck some fields, every bit makes a difference. I love being with all the animals and getting to make a difference in their healing journey.
