This is one of those places I stop by very often, and for some strange reason, never find the time to write a review. Until now. So, fyi, this review it's way overdue: since 2012. I know, right!!??
I still remembered the first time one of my vegan friends brought me here: "We are going to a sanctuary farm in Little Haiti", she announced. "A farm?!?!".
I was hesitant to step out of the car, since the area looked super shady... But I'm glad I did.
Several houses encapsulates the big complex, and once you walked in, you are welcomed by the rescued goats. Every Sunday I stop by to bring scrap foods I collect during the week. Coco, the cockatoo, loves mangoes. The emu can eat anything, but just be careful not to get too close. She/he spits. There's even a pond with koi fish. The turtles are super shy, and the chickens have a whole house for themselves.
If you feel adventurous, you can AirB&B one of the bungalows for the weekend, or even better, one of the tree houses, and wake up on the top of the canopy by the rooster call at 5am. The showers are outdoor, to make the experience even wilder.
Now you know my secret hidden place. It's up to you to spread the word...
