Love Always Sanctuary - Farm Animal Sanctuary California
π Sun Valley, CA
Sun Valley farm animal sanctuary offering private guided tours with rescued donkeys, potbellied pigs, goats, sheep, turkeys, and chickens. All animal interactions happen on the animals' own terms in an unrushed setting.
I went here for a private tour and it was absolutely the best part of my LA trip! I love the animals here so much, I miss them already. The location is easy to find, plenty of parking, and lots of ubers/lyfts in the area if needed. The tour was led by a volunteer who was super nice and clearly cared about the animals. He knew all their names, their personalities, their likes/dislikes, and their histories. And the space was really clean and well kept. The best part was how friendly the animals were. Immediately as I walked in, several ran right up to say hi. There was a little goat that followed me around and sneakily nibbled on my hoodie, an adorable turkey that wanted to stay as close as possible the entire visit, and a sheep that wanted to lay its head on my lap. All the animals are absolutely heartwarming. I wish I could see them every day. If you live in or travel to LA and love animals, schedule a private tour! (must schedule in advance, check their social media) Supporting an amazing vegan sanctuary like this is very fulfilling. Thank you to everyone at the sanctuary for the incredible experience and for taking such good care of all the residents.
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families with animal-loving children who want genuine hands-on connection with rescued farm animals rather than a zoo-style observation. The animals are sociable and approach visitors freely. The vegan mission is front and centre β families who align with it will find the experience deeply meaningful.

βI celebrated my birthday here tonight and couldnβt have picked a better place. The food was fantastic β creative, flavorful plant-based dishes. We seriously would have bought a case of the dressing and pasta sauce. But what made it really special was the peaceful energy of being around the rescued animals and seeing how content they are, not to mention the beautiful golden hills behind us. The entire experience felt calming and purposeful in a way thatβs hard to describe. The team clearly care deeply about what theyβre doing, and that energy is contagious. Whether youβre vegan, just curious about plant-based food, or want to support a good cause, this place is very worth checking out. Nothing could beat this experience. Thank you Tamir & Nickie!β

βWe did this on a whim and ended up having a perfect little day. Iβd say the goats and sheep are my new best friends, but they seem to be that nice to everyone. If you love animals, please go and support this!β
