ABOUT: Farm at Oatland North

The farm at Oatland North is a non-profit animal rescue farm.  The Farm rescues and provides sanctuary for abused, neglected, and abandoned animals.  At the Farm, animals learn to trust again and have a chance to thrive and live out their lives in peace, comfort, dignity, and love.

Join us for a behind the scenes tour of the Farm and get to know some of the adorable animals, including goats, pigs, horses, donkeys, cats, and chickens.  Learn about how animals come to The Farm while also learning about their many volunteer opportunities.

Food will be provided to anyone interested in feeding the animals during the tour!

Visitors enjoy the opportunity to learn about the Okefenokee on tour aboard a 24 ft Carolina Skiff. These are flat bottomed boats with ample seating and canopies overhead.
