The Animals
Animals are some of our greatest teachers at Forget Me Not Farm. Many of the animals are rescues themselves having come from abuse and/or neglect. Our barn houses pigs, goats, sheep, horses, geese, chickens, cows and a miniature donkey. Children feed, groom and care for these animals as if they were their own. They also have a mutual trust and understanding amongst one another and are able to grow and heal through this bond.
Raphael (pony)
Raphael was never given enough attention, until he came to the Humane Society; where he was welcomed with love and care. He enjoys giving kids rides around the farm, where the attention never ends.
Carmen (miniature donkey)
After living in Oregon her whole life for breeding, Carmen decided to come to California and retire. Now she enjoys being brushed and groomed by the children at the farm.
Rammekins (sheep with the black head)
Rammekins, rejected by his mother as a baby, was bottle-fed and raised by the staff and children at the farm, and now enjoys grazing in our grassy field.
Wynsong (miniature horse)
The oldest resident at our farm is Wynsong, but she doesn’t show us her age. She enjoys chasing Raphael and meeting new people at events.
Muffin & Cupcake (ducks)
Muffin and Cupcake were dumped at our shelter and hand-raised by Farm staff and many of the visiting children. They keep themselves busy monitoring everything that goes on at the farm.
Helping Hens
After working many years in a factory in deplorable conditions, these hens were rescued from death row and now enjoy roaming free. The children enjoy their company and are busy collecting their eggs.
Orville & Trayf (Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs)
Previously living life in the big city, these little pigs came wee wee all the way home to us, after being abandoned. Now they enjoy romping in the hay and giving kisses to the children and staff.
Nico & Buddy (La Mancha Goats)
Being lucky enough to get to our Farm (rather than being slaughtered for meat), Nico and Buddy have become great friends. Even though their ears may seem imperfect, the children love them just the same.
Sonny & Cher (St. Croix sheep)
Rescued by a young boy with a good heart, who hid this wooly pair in his bedroom, Sonny and Cher soon found they weren’t so popular in the home. Now they are star performers at the Farm and enjoy being groomed by the children and grazing in the field.
Raymond (Jersey calf)
You could have enjoyed Raymond for dinner, but now he’s being enjoyed at the Forget Me Not Farm by the children and staff who give him bottle feedings and lots of loving attention.
