In our increasingly digital-dependent and urbanized world, we are loosing touch with nature. With this in mind, we believe the Children’s Nature Retreat offers a rich connection to the earth, its plants and animals. We allow guests to step away from their fast pace life, reduce stress levels and find their balance in nature.

🐖 At The Children’s Nature Retreat Foundation, nothing goes to waste. Our pigs turn surplus produce into natural fertilizer, enriching the soil for lettuce, artichokes, summer squash, apples, citrus, and pumpkins. Every bite supports a regenerative cycle that strengthens the land.

Visit daily 10 AM–5 PM, order for local pickup, or find us at La Jolla and Ocean Beach Farmers Markets. Rancho Santa Fe coming soon!

Love to see our mini horses gallop freely in their pasture. The farm has been created to provide all the animals who lost their homes with big living spaces so they can run, hide, play together as they wish.

Wonder, our baby goat, and Dawnie are friends. Wonder loves to hitchhike on his friend’s back and Dawnie will do his dance when time is up.

Regular wellness visit yesterday. We checked on Echo who had a cold and had been on antibiotics, we checked on Cheyenne who’s now on 2 medications to try to help him with his old age ailments, and Coby who needed his hooves and tusks shortened. We are so grateful for Dr. Blanche at Eclap! She’s always ready to tackle anything.

At the farm, we do care for all kind of animals who lost their homes due to illness, death, relocating, downsizing, divorce, college, financial hardship… Some come from bad situations, kill pens, auctions… Some were lost, found on the road and not claimed. Your visit is very important to us as it helps us finance their care. We will be open everyday even in the rain…
