Where the city fades and the farm comes alive.
Redbird Farm & Sanctuary
Nestled in the quiet countryside of Paola, Kansas, Redbird Farm & Sanctuary is a peaceful retreat where animals roam, nature heals, and people reconnect.
Home to more than 200 rescued animals — from curious goats and gentle donkeys to clucking chickens and waddling ducks — our sanctuary is a place where every creature is cherished and every visitor finds space to breathe.
Visit the Farm
Whether you’re spending the day or just stopping by, a visit to Redbird is something special. Walk the grounds, meet our four-legged (and feathered!) residents, and see the joy of animals living safe, happy lives.
Join us for monthly Open Farm Days (check Facebook for dates), or send us a message to schedule a visit at a time that works for you.
Before You Visit
We’re excited to welcome you — and so are the goats!
Please take a minute to read our Farm Guide before you come.
“Such a beautiful place with over 200 critters living together in harmony! This city girl appreciated being able to pet and feed and learn about so many of them.”
