WELCOME TO KIND FARM

Nestled alongside the river in beautiful Cardrona Valley lies Kind Farm South, an Animal Sanctuary dedicated to kindness and love for animals who are the heart of our operation and are the reason for every decision we make.

Here, amidst snow-covered mountains and breathtaking views, we provide a safe haven where compassion and respect are at the heart of everything we do.

We offer the life we believe all animals deserve. Every visit supports our goal of compassion, safety and respect. You can join us in making a difference by visiting, volunteering or donating.
