Welcome to
CEDAR HILL SANCTUARY
We provide care to farm animals and education programs for developing communications skills, team work, and self-confidence.
Our Mission
Cedar Hill Sanctuary’s mission is to inspire compassion for animals, the land we live on, and each other by offering a safe, welcoming space where people and farm animals come together to experience growth, healing and connection.
We provide high-quality, specialized care to farm animals, offer farm animal education programs, art therapy and education programs for all learners, with a focus on neurodiverse youth and adults, and provide experiential therapy to ensure the Cedar Hill community is accessible for everyone.
Because we are a not-for-profit and funding for the Sanctuary is provided by our very generous donors that see our mission as a way to connect and give to the community, we can offer full scholarships for most of our programs! Contact us to receive scholarship information.
