Mossburn Community Farm

Mossburn Community Farm Mossburn is an animal sanctuary home to approx. 100 animals. We are open to visit every day 10am-4pm

Mossburn Community Farm was originally set up in 1990 and now cares for a wide range of misused, abused, unwanted and neglected animals as well as offering spaces where possible to animals whose owners can no longer look after them. We currently have around 100 animals including horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, poultry and more! Our animals are as free range as we can allo

w them to be so we provide a great peaceful environment where visitors can get up close to the animals. As well as the animal side of things, Mossburn provides support for young people and adults with additional needs (physical, emotional, behavioural and mental) via our Animal Assisted Therapy programme, offering work experience placements, our weekly Mossburn Experience Group (where individuals with additional needs gain life skills and help to care for the animals), and more.

๐ŸŽ‰ Happy New Year from everyone at Mossburn ๐ŸŽ‰

As we welcome a new year, we want to take a moment to say the biggest thank you to everyone who has supported Mossburn over the past year. Life at an animal sanctuary is full of highs and lows and truly, we could not do this without you.

Every act of support โ€“ whether it was a donation, a bag of feed, fruit and veg, sharing a post, giving your time or simply cheering us on โ€“ means so much to us. No gesture is too small, and all of it helps us keep going, especially during the tough times.

Thank you to our dedicated staff and volunteers who show up day after day to care for our animals, to the amazing team at Dryfe Vets who are always there when we need you, to the people we rely on when things break or go wrong and to our dependable suppliers who keep everything running, beds warm and comfy and tummies full.

This year weโ€™ve welcomed new animals into our care and said goodbye to some much-loved souls ๐Ÿพ Each one leaves their mark on us and we will always do everything we can to ensure they are loved, safe and healthy for the time they have with us.

Our therapy programmes continue to grow and our animals never stop amazing us with the comfort, healing and joy they bring to people.

Thank you and here's to 2026 ๐Ÿ’š
