1 / 2Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary
📍 Northport, NY
Donation-run historic farm sanctuary in Northport with rescued goats, sheep, llamas, a cow named Annabelle, and free-roaming peacocks. Families can hand-feed animals and explore original barns and a botanical garden.
An amazing little gem in north port! I am so happy the family decided to keep this place open for the public. The animals include chickens, lamas, sheep, goats and big cow named anabel a local vegan ice cream company named after. The celery is $2 or you can bring your own from home. The peacocks and turkeys are my favorite and you can buy the feathers in the store ensuring they were safely fallen off the bird and not stolen or caused the animal harm as most places do. I love this farm sanctuary and will be back again!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 1–8 who want an intimate, hands-on animal encounter without the scale or crowds of a zoo. The calm, well-handled animals make close interaction genuinely accessible for toddlers. Call ahead to confirm the sanctuary is staffed before making the trip — donation-dependent operations can have irregular openings.

“Over 23 years ago we bought our first house a short walk from the farm… then moved to another house on the same street! Raised our kids, helped save the farm, we walk by it daily… it’s one of the reasons we live in this area of the village to this day. Please visit, please donate… and say hello to best friends Mikey & Blaze ♡”

“Visited this little Sanctuary a bit ago, it was such a nice experience, the animals were all calm and wonderful, taken care of, they let people pet them, and you can feed them with veggies💚 They have a lovely garden and it’s nice to walk around in the little garden. They accept donations too! 🔖🔖”

Overview
Lewis Oliver Farm Sanctuary houses rescued farm animals across original historic barns and a botanical garden. Kids can hand-feed goats, sheep, and llamas with celery purchased on-site or brought from home. The beloved resident cow Annabelle inspired a local vegan ice cream brand. Fallen peacock feathers are available in the small country store. The sanctuary runs entirely on donations and community support.
